Speech #1100052969

Madam President. I rise to speak in favor of the Vitter amendment No. 1157. which strikes title VI of the bill. the title that authorizes Z visas for illegal immigrants. Z visas are amnesty. pure and simple. They allow illegal immigrants to stay here permanently without ever returning home to their countries. This is the provision that has so many Americans upset. By removing Z visas from the bill. illegal immigrants will be able to go home and get right with the law. Once they have returned. they can apply for legal entry. just like everyone else. but they would not be allowed to violate our laws. I know many will say this amendment will be too disruptive to the illegal workers who would ultimately be forced to return to their home countries. but I disagree.
