They know repeating the fundamental mistakes of the 1986 bill. joining a big amnesty with inadequate enforcement. will cause the problem to grow and not diminish. They know promising enforcement after 30 years of broken promises isnt good enough. They know the socalled trigger is a joke because if the trigger is never pulled. the Z visas. the amnesty happens forever. They know groups like the Congressional Budget Office have estimated that this bill. so big on enforcement. will only decrease illegal immigration 13 percent and will have another 8.7 million illegal aliens coming into the country. They know that. They do have wisdom and common sense. The question is: Do we or do we decide that Washington knows best? This isnt just a vote about immigration. This is a vote about whether this body is out of touch. whether this body is arrogant. or whether it will respect the true wisdom and common sense of the American people. I yield the floor.
