I think you have to argue that the status quo is better than what this bill offers if you are going to oppose the bill. Let me mention two other points since I see my colleague from New Mexico is in the Chamber. Like me. he appreciates the impact on our society of illegal immigrants who are imposing themselves. who are using social services. who are stressing our court system. and I appreciate the fact that the senior Senator from New Mexico has offered legislation to add judges so that we at least have enough judges to handle the cases that come before the courts. A lot of our colleagues say that the problem with this legislation and the only reason they cant go along with it is that it represents amnesty. Of course. everybody has a different definition of what amnesty is.
