Speech #1100067225

So this amendment would reduce the scope of people who were allowed legalization to those who have put down roots in their communities in a very fair way that I think Americans will understand. but also would remove the unnecessary impediment of requiring people to go back to their country of origin. I have heard loudly and clearly from not only Virginians but from people across this countrywhen I have talked to people about this issue over the past couple of yearsthat this Congress should find a fair system that. on the one hand. protects American workers and. also. respects the rule of law. This amendment Is the fairest method I know to do so. and to do so realistically in order to truly reform our broken Immigration system. I am hopeful this amendment will get support. If this amendment succeeds.
