Einstein said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Lets just look at what happened when Mr. KENNEDY. who promised in 1986 this would be the last amnesty that America would ever have. clearly stated. "It will never happen again." Twenty years ago. we tried this experiment of rewarding illegal immigration. We were promised that it was only going to be I million illegals that were given amnesty. It turned out it was 3 million. Now. 20 years later. rather than having 3 illegals in our country we have 12 to 20. Mr. KENNEDY. did your amnesty really eliminate illegal immigration? I will tell you as somebody who was down at the border. I was actually the chairman of San Diego County on the border. a county of 3 million. The greatest influx of illegal immigration that we have seen in this country happened immediately after the last amnesty. And anyone who says that we are going to stop illegal immigration by announcing to the world that 20 million illegals got rewarded is either ignorant of the facts or willing to fabricate verifications that are absolutely outrageous. And you cannot stop illegal immigration when you announce that you are going to reward it. and the proof is in history. Last time. Mr. KENNEDY. you did this. we had the largest illegal immigration population. And. frankly. I think there are people who are proposing this amnesty who know what it will do but will not come clean with the American people.
