You heard the Senator from Texas offer an amendment to make this legislation better: and the Senator from North Dakota. to offer his views. I think this whole process has been very healthy. One of the things we are trying to address in this bill is a situation where our immigration has been broken. the system has been broken for many years. In 1986. legislation was offered to try to solve this problem. What has happened is it has gotten even worse. so there has been. obviously. more thought put into this bill. I appreciate again the many amendments and the discussion that has taken place. Many of the things we have talked about have addressed the legalities. have addressed some of the technicalities in our immigration system. It seems to me. one of the things we have not addressedwhile we have tried to address fairness to businesses. we tried to address fairness to immigrants. we tried to address fairness to familiesone of the things I think we have not addressed is a sense of fairness to the American citizen. What I mean by that is this. There is a sense of fairness that we see many times on the floor that is not addressed by the fact that we have about 12 million people in this country today illegally.
