Today. there have been four more amendments that have been offered. and the beginning debate on those amendments has taken place. So the majority leaders decision to add 1 more week to continue the deliberation on this bill is something which is needed and something which we all appreciate. Hopefully. what it will lead to is the passage of a comprehensive immigration reform bill that is good for the American people. I wish to take a few minutes to sum up. from my point of view. why this legislation is so important. We now know we have a system in America for immigration which is broken. It is a system of lawlessness and it is a systern that victimizes a lot of people. from the people who are the workers to the employers of this country. We also know it is a system that has been broken for a very long time. Our laws have not been enforced on immigration. The United States has chosen. instead of enforcing the law. to look the other way. Indeed. over the last 5 or 6 years. as I understand it. there have been less than four enforcement actions taken against employers across the country. on average.
