In law enforcement we say: If you do the crime. you got to do the time. you got to pay the fine. Well. what is it we are asking people here to do? We are asking them to do a tremendous amount of work and activity to demonstrate that they are. in fact. entitled at some point down the road to a green card. The first thing you are asking people to do under the new program we are setting up is that they have to come out of the shadows into the sunlight of society. and to register with the Government. That is not a requirement we make of any citizen in the United States. but it is a requirement we are going to make to have undocumented workers here in America. that they have to register with the Government and they have to do that and then go into a probationary period that is going to last for a very long period of time. At the time they register. they have to pay a fine. Now. it is not a $5 fine. a $25 fine. a little slap on the wrist.
