I have been one who wants to try to fix this legislation. The amendments I have offered are in that spirit. But I have to say that we are going to continue to be viewed as nonserious about workability. about enforcement. about restoring respect for the rule of law unless we vote to exclude those who have shown nothing but defiance for our laws by absconding. by going underground even after having their day in court and refusing an order of deportation. or those who have been deported following a day in court. following all the rights our country provides for judicial review and administrative review and who simply left to only reenter again illegally. As I mentioned at the outset. the Immigration and Naturalization Act makes both those categories of individuals felonsfelons. This is not a misdemeanor. This is not an inadvertency.
