Speech #1100055713

The Senator from Texas was involved in a lot of the discussions. As we pointed out previously. we wanted to have tough law enforcement internally. We wanted recognition that those 12.5 million people here were going to be able to be secure. they werent going to be deported. they were going to go to the end of the line. they would have to go through the earned legalization program. bring families together again. set up a program in terms of a temporary worker program. I dont know what 90 percent the Senator agrees with because I havent heard much. What is important is what his amendment does and what its impact would be. We ought to come back at the conclusion of this debate to the point that was raised at the beginning because after all the rhetoric. after all is said and done. listen to the example that was given by my friend from Illinois. Senator DURBUI describes a mother of four U.S. citizens. married to a U.S. citizen. who is herself undocumented. She left the country to visit her sick mother. She was apprehended after she snuck back in.
