Speech #1100055859

This amendment is about the treatment of those who have come here without legal authorization. The underlying bill. by the way. was cobbled together by a group of people. including the White House. I guess. and they said anybody who shows up in this country without legal authorization by December 31 is deemed to then have been legal and will be given a work permit. I think Senator WEBBs approach is much more sensitive and much more realistic to our people who have been here 10. 15. 20 years without legal authorization but they have been model citizens. they raised families. have had jobs. have done things that would commend them to us for the future. He is suggesting a much more sensible way of dealing with that.
