We have a common language. So. common language. what it means to be an American. finding many different ways to honor these new citizens who come here legallythat ought to be as important a part of this bill as securing the border and creating a verification system in dealing with the people who already got here illegally. Primarily I came to the floor this afternoon to let my colleagues know I have a suggestion for how to begin to regain the trust of the American people on this issue. and that is this bill should pass with strong new provisions for border security. with funding to pay for it. and with a trigger that says the legalization parts of the bill dont take effect for 2. 3. 4. maybe even 5 years. until the border is secure. Then the question is how are we going to know if the border is secure? The bill says trust the Director of Homeland Security.
