We have the Presiding Officer. and members of the Judiciary Committee. I believe very strongly what we should do is have bimonthly hearings. oversight hearings into the operation and mechanics of the bill. so that as the bill is carried out. if there are tweaks that need to be made. we can make them. But to fall. at this point in time. is to continue this situation where 12 million remain unidentified. where they pose a serious risk to national security. where 700.000 to 800.000 people will enter our country illegally or overstay their visas over 10 years. with 7 million to 8 million additional people here in undocumented capacity. where 400 to 500 people die every year trying to cross the Mexican border. and where 4 million people will continue to wait for a green card. We take these problems and we try to solve them in this bill. Now. people who are opposed to the bill say: I dont like this.
