I lift my lamp beside the golden door! That is right. as long as those individuals are working and who will never become citizens. who will never have that right to become a part of the American dream. and once you stop working. out of the country you go. Better gather up all of your belongings. because you are going to be out of status. and out of status means you can be subject to deportation. You can imagine what that Individual is going to say to their employer when the employer says: Sure. you have worked 40 hours. You work 50 hours. 60 hours. and bring your wife in and make sure she works overtime this week as well. otherwise. you are out of status. You are out of here. That is what the Bond amendment would do to Americans. One America that has rights and privileges. and to a second group in America they say: Once we wring out of you the last bit of sweat that you can give to some employer. you are finished. you are out of status. you are deportable. That isnt what this country is about. Maybe we dont like the fact that people are not satisfied with the regime we have given or recommended in this legislation that says: You go to the back of the line.
