In any event. much of what he says makes sense on this issue. His commitment to it is obviously intense and thorough. and I admire it. The point he makes. which is that we now have a dysfunctional system and there is basically chaos within the immigration system in this country relative to illegal immigrants being in this country and the borders remaining regrettably reasonably porous although they have tightened up over the last few years--is very legitimate. This bill is an attempt to genuinely address those issues in a number of areas. I have made the point throughout the discussion of this bill that from my standpoint. a good piece of immigration legislation has to accomplish essentially four things. First. it has to make the borders secure. There is no reason we cannot secure the southern border.
