The essential point is that undocumented immigrants. if they are victims and make a report. or if they are witnesses. or if they have information about dangerous peopleterrorists. illustrativelyshould have confidence and feel free to come to the police. Wellintentioned as this amendment is. I think it would be counterproductive and unwise. AMENDMENT NO. use0 Mr. President. I think we are in a position to accept the McCain amendment when Senator KENNEDY returns to the floor. The thrust of the amendment offered by Senator MCCAIN. No. 1190. would provide that undocumented immigrants would have an obligation to pay Federal back taxes at the time their status is adjusted under the provisions of the bill. Mr. President.
