In the back of the roomwe dont even have to look at the back of the roomwe have Hispanics. But my skin is American skin. just as the Presiding Officer. just as Senator SALAZAR. What is immigration all about? A number of years ago. one of Americas great journalists. James Fallows. wrote a book called "More Like Us." The thesis in this book was that everyone was saying we should be more like Japan. Japan was at the zenith of its height and power. and we were in the doldrums economically. Everyone said we should be more like Japan. James Fallows wrote this book. "More Like Us." and he said: No. we should be more like us. like America. and the No. 1 issue he talked about being different from Japan. our strength. is immigration. I testify that is true. that is the strength of this great country. Today in America we have a problem with immigration. We have porous borders that need to be fixed. We are Senators.
