The people of Wyoming have made it clear to me that they do not support this legislation. They want something to be done to address our borders. but do not support the blanket amnesty of this bill. The current situation of an open border and an overly complex hiring process encourages illegal immigration and the hiring of illegal workers. Once we improve these situations. we can determine what steps may be necessary for addressing the illegal immigrant population. We should not. however. even be considering amnesty. Amnesty encourages illegal immigration. In 1986. 7 million immigrants were granted amnesty. Today we are facing an illegal population of over 12 million. The 1986 amnesty did not stop illegal immigration. We should not repeat this policy without ensuring that we are not making the same mistake. This is a complicated issue that will directly impact businesses across the United States.
