Americans can place their card in a bank machine in France or Brazil or anywhere else and get money from their banks in the United States. Surely we can clock out people who leave this country. My amendment makes sure there is room in the budget resolution to fund the completion of the USVISIT exit system and the other important components of a legitimate. workable. lawful system of immigration that we in this Nation should have. The American peoples instincts on this are absolutely right. We allow a million people to enter our country legally every year. We ought to improve that system in a lot of different ways. but we cannot allow large numbers of people to enter our country unlawfully because it makes a mockery of law. It breeds disrespect and anger in people who wait for months or years to be chosen to enter the country when somebody they know enters illegally. It is the right thing for us to do. to create a lawful system of immigration that meets our highest standards as Americans. It is time to get that done. Each one of these things I have mentioned in this legislation is a critical component of creating that lawful system.
