It is not that difficult to create the reality that it is not open. and people will not spend their money trying to go through deserts and so forth to get into this country if the word gets out that it is no longer possible to be successful at it. That is what we need to do. reach that tipping point. We could see a big drop in the flow of illegal immigrants into our country. Then we could focus on a compassionate solution to those who have been here for a long time. who have children and families and have jobs and solid ties to our country. But the legislation before us today moved the date by which you could make claim for legal status from January of 2004 to January of 2007. Basically. no illegal alien is left behind. everybody is going to be a participant in this deal. I was stunned at that. Senator WEBB offered an excellent amendment today on that point to say it ought to go back 4 years.
