Speech #1100056992

We are not just coming at this legislation for the first time. We have debated just about every feature of this program. somewhat different from last year. but the themes are the same. the arguments are the same. the amendments are almost the same. The only question is the will of this body and the will to make a judgment. a decision that we are going to clean up our borders. get a sense of law in terms of those borders and in the employment areas. get a respect for the law from those who have been undocumented:. they are going to pay their price. give a sense of hope to the young people who can benefit. and give a sense of dignity and pride to those who work in the fields across this country in AgJOBS. This is going to be an important vote this evening. If we are talking about a vote about Americas future. this is it.
