It goes to the House. and they will take up a measure. They will do what they think is appropriate. It will go to conference and we will come up with something that hopefully will solve most of the problems of immigration. I believe that to be the case. Comprehensive immigration reform will require us to tackle a number of difficult issues. such as border security. We have done a remarkably important thing in this bill regarding border security. Previously. there was authorization for money to do border security. This bill gives direct funding of $4.4 billion to address border security. If for no other reason. people should vote for this. I am confident this bill will take care of border security more than anything we have talked about in recent years. It will also look at a fair temporary worker program. There is in the legislation an agricultural workers program that is excellent. In this legislation there is the DREAM Act for education for children who previously could not be educated. Of course. there are employer sanctions which are important. I am confident this bill addresses all four of these issues in a way that honors our country. our strong immigrant history. and sets us on the path to a stronger future. I was looking at some commentary. talking about me and immigration. Actually. they made fun of fact that my fatherinlaw came from Russia. as if it were a negative. My wifes father was born in Russia.
