If one accepts the premises of these three goals. then I strongly believe this amendment is the best way forward for US. As a general matter. I agree with my colleagues the time has come for fair and balanced reform of our broken immigration system. When I say fairness. I mean a system of laws that is fair to everyone in the United States and especially to our wage earners. I strongly support the provisions in this bill that strengthen our Nations borders. I also support the sections of the bill that create tough civil and criminal penalties for employers who unfairly hire illegal immigrants. creating both a secondclass population and undercutting American workers. As a point of reference. I did not support the bills creation of a massive new temporary worker program. and I am pleased to see at least a portion of that was adjusted by the vote last night.
