Over the past week. as the Senate has been in recess for Memorial Day. we witnessed a healthy debate across the country as Americans across the political spectrum have expressed their views on this legislation. Some support our legislation. others oppose it. With all of the editorials and newspaper articles and phone calls from the constituents. one theme occurs loud and strong: Americans know our immigration system is broken and they want us to fix it. This week we have a chance to meet that challenge for the good of the Nation. We have a bipartisan bill before us. It has the support of the President. I believe when we complete the debate in the Senate we will adopt it. It enforces our borders: it cracks down in the workplace by going after employers who hire illegal workers. it brings the 12 million families who are here out of the shadows. it speeds up the reunion of families waiting legally. in line who otherwise may never make it here: it sets up an immigration for the future that continues to reunite families. while stressing our Nations economic needs. That is our program. It is strong. practical. and it is fair.
