Mr. President. I think we are all concerned that we get border security right. The Graham amendment offered us that opportunity. It looks like we may get there tonight. Let the Senate understand there is a Catch22 to what we are doing. While Americans want their border securitymy guess is what the majority leader is proposing we adjust to will pass by the unanimous support of this Senate. The Catch22 is that American agriculture is now in crisis. in part because we have failed to pass an Immigration bill that addresses their guest worker need problem and the border closes and the human labor flow stops. We want it stopped. We want the illegal movement to stop. but we need a legal system tied to this to solve a problem.
