He wasnt part of the group. wasnt part of the grand compromise. but thinks he could improve the legislation. But. because those who have brought the bill to the floor have done so with arms locked together. believing that anyone who could try to improve on their work would be destroying their compromise. we have people who are not able to offer these amendments. There is also some implied suggestion here that those who do not support this grand compromise are not sensitive to the issue of immigration. are not willing to look and understand that there is a real. serious problem here which needs to be addressed. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact. while I have substantial difficulty with the plan that is brought to the floor of the SenateI think it is a flawed planI happen to think immigration is a very serious problem in this country. The first and obvious answer to our immigration problem is to try to provide some real border security. We have about 12 millionperhaps morepeople who have come into this country without legal authorization. Why?
