What happens on a bill such as this. that is very complicated and long. and especially when you are writing the bill on the floor rather than taking it through the committee process. there are a lot of amendments which are legitimate amendments. yet the distinguished majority leader said he was going to file cloture on the bill tonight. That would ripen on Thursday. 1 have three amendments. One is on Social Security protection for America. from any person who works illegally to get credit on Social Security when they are working illegally: another one on the future flow of Y visa holders. and then 1 have an amendment for people to return home before they come back and become legal guest workers in our country. So those are three amendments I am giving everyone notice I believe are very important. they are productive. they are positive. and they are an effort to make this a bill that Americans will see is the right approach to handling the chaos we have with illegal immigration in our country. I dont want to be squeezed out by cloture or by time deadlines. If we take 4 weeks on this bill and it becomes a better bill that all of us can support. those who wish to have comprehensive reform. 4 weeks. with the effect this is going to have in the next 25 years for our country. that is nothing.
