A lot. in my judgment. That is what pushes me to come to the floor on these amendmentsnot because I wish to hear myself talk or because I wish to take on friends but because I think the direction we are headed in is wrong. Yes. we have an immigration problem. I accept that and I understand that. I believe the first step to resolving it is border security because. otherwise. 10 or 15 years from now. we will be back with another immigration problem. and we will understand there was not border security. Those who tell us there is border security are the same ones who tell us. as Janet Napolitano says. that if we build a 50foot fence. they will get a 51foot ladder. You cant stop it. so declare it legal. Illegal immigration is going to occur. like it or not: therefore. lets have a temporary worker program. I disagree with that. The fact is.
