I think in the last several years we have seen the lowest number of enforcement cases that have been taken against employers who have hired people who were not authorized to be in this country. What we have set up in this legislation is a program that will. in fact. make sure we are enforcing the laws of our Nation. and that that value of being a nation Of laws is something we can celebrate. Certainly the legislation before us as well dteals with the reality of the 12 million undocumented workers who are here. We deal with the other issues that are part of the economic challenges we face in America. The 12 million people who are here working with undocumented status are providing very valuable assistance to the American people. For every American who is watching the debate on immigration. they ought to ask themselves: Who is it that is cleaning your yard? Who are the landscapers of America today? Who is it that is working out in the meatpacking plants making sure you have the meat and produce that ends up on your table for your evening dinner?
