I appreciate the motives of those who sponsored the bill. It is true that by us not enforcing our laws over many years we have created a lot of tragic circumstances. But the solution is not to reward lawbreaking and create incentives for more illegal immigration in the future. America has asked us to secure our borders. create a worker ID system. and an immigration system that works. If we do this. if we build that foundation. then the possibility of comprehensive reform becomes a reality. I would encourage my colleagues not to chip away in the way of trying to provide compassion through amnesty. but lets fix the system like we promised and revisit this next year.
