He made the comment in my hometown of Mobile that a Texan friend of his once said if we agree 100 percent on every issue. then one of us would not be needed. Well. we dont agree on this issue. but he has a good vision for America. He believes we need to do something about immigration and he has high ideals about it. He wants to fix our immigration system and he wants to fix it comprehensively. I have said repeatedly. in the last 2 years of debate. that we do need a comprehensive fix. we need a guest worker program that actually will work and be effective. one that is responsive to the needs of the market without depressing the wages of the American worker. I have said that we need to replace the lawless system of immigration we now have with a lawful one. one that serves our national interests. and by that I mean the interests of the American worker and the longterm national interests of our country. Sadly. I do not believe that the bill before the Senate comes close to creating a lawful system that serves our national interests.
