But what we did was send a signal all over the world that if you can get here illegally. we are eventually going to make you legal. And so here we are again. except this time with 12 to 20 million illegals who have come to this country. breaking our laws as their first act of coming across our border. This billand I know there are a lot of good intentions behind itis holding hostage the reforms we need to secure our borders. to develop a workable immigration system. We are holding that part hostage. which we really need. to this whole idea of amnesty. They are telling those of us who want to make a system that works to get in the guest workers our farmers and hotel operators need. to get in the skilled workers in our hightech industries. that in order to do that and to develop an enforcement system to make that work. we have to give 12 million people who came here illegally permanent residency and a pathway to citizenship.
