Mr. President. we have broken borders. The 1986 act had no enforcement mechanism. and that was under a Republican administration. We are not bringing that up. We have 12V2 million immigrants. You can say we are going to ship them back. and it will take $250 billion and 25 years to be able to do it. Buses will stretch from Los Angeles to New York and back again. Are we going to do that? No. we are going to take another route and just exploit them and not do what is in this legislation. which makes them pay a fine and demonstrate that they are going to work hard and learn English and provide for their family and give something back to America. like they do when their sons and daughters serve In Iraq and Afghanistan.
