The message was: We do not support an amnesty program because that will make the problem far worse and not better. The second part of the message was: Lets start with real enforcement. Lets finally get serious with border security. workplace security. to begin to address this very real illegal immigration problem in this country. That message came through in such volume that it literally shut down the Senate phone system on the morning of that pivotal vote which defeated that socalled comprehensive immigration bill proposed by Senator KENNEDY and Senator DURBIN. the author of this DREAM Act amendment. and others. What is so frustrating to me is that very loud. very clear message seems to have fallen on deaf ears in terms of some Members of this body. Unfortunately. this DREAM Act amendment is proof of that.
