Speech #1100056796

I praise the people who worked on this bill. who put together this compromise. But I think history points us in a direction that says we have to have proof this time. We have to know if we do this again. with at least 12 million people. if we grant amnestyand I know the President says it is not amnesty. but if you come here illegally and eventually are legal. that is amnestyif we are willing to do that. this time the American people ought to have the assurance we are not going to do that again. that we are going to have an immigration enforcement policy. an employer verification system. an entrance and exit system. and border security that is going to make sure we dont repeat the mistakes of the past. I believe this bill needs a lot more work. I believe it has a lot of complications that are unforeseen. and complications that we are aware of at this time.
