At this point there are 14 pending amendments. We hope we will begin to vote on those amendments tomorrow morning and will continue through the rest of the day and through the rest of the week. It is my hope at the end of the day we will have an immigration reform package that is adopted by the Senate. and will then move forward. I wish to make a comment on one of the attacks that has been made on this legislation by many Members around the country where they said what we are trying to do is give people amnesty. Well. when I looked up the definition of amnesty in the Merriam Webster online dictionary. it says essentially amnesty is a pardon.
