We have to regain the trust of the American people that we will. in fact. this time do what is necessary to secure our borders and control our borders. We are at risk. as the discovery of the Fort Dix belated plan reflects. in terms of our own national security. So it is not all about immigration. it is about national security. and there is nothing in this bill that forces the President of any party who is in charge or forces the Congress to do anything different than we have done in the past. I believe it is highly important we have this trigger mechanism for the assurance of the American people that we have a secure border. that we have a visa entrance and exit system that works. that we have employer verification that works. that those key things are intact before we grant legal status to those who are here illegally. I say again I appreciate Senator KENNEDY working with me in allowing me the time to do this. and Senator REID for his graciousness for this time. I yield to the Senator from Texas.
