We now must consider as part of this debate what to do with those who have broken the rules to come here but have since worked hard to provide for their families. I hope the Senate will give this difficult question the reasoned. thorough debate it deserves. The problems we face today with border security and illegal immigration did not appear overnight. and they will not be solved overnight. It is a difficult and complicated issue. and fixing it will not be easy. But while I am still reviewing the provisions of this legislation and reserve the right to try to improve it through the amendment process. as others will. I believe strongly that we can work to complete an immigration bill this year because we no longer can wait. I thank the majority leader and Senator MCCONNELL. I thank Senator KENNEDY and Senator KYL for their hard work.
