The bill calls for the Department of Homeland Security to define. procure. develop. and implement a worker verification system to check 200 million Americans in less than 2 years. How can the American people have any faith in the enforcement provisions of this bill when these provisions include unattainable goals and untenable standards? For this reason. it is important we not pass any immigration legislation that makes these mistakes and repeats so many from the 1986 predecessor. I continue to hope we can pass meaningful. safe immigration reform. Everyone knows our current immigration system is broken. and I wish to see it fixed. But this bill will not do it. Finally. one of the biggest problems we have had with this legislation centers around the way it came to the floor of the Senate.
