Madam President. the amendment offered by my colleague is an amendment that does not effectively replace the amendment I have offered. My amendment that will be coming up next is a broad amendment. But this amendment contains immigration reform language that suggests once again that enforcement cannot be effectively done without a comprehensive amnesty approach. It fails to include any provision for State and local law enforcement. fails to include any provision for border fencing. fails to include any provision to advance specifically the effective operations streamline policy that is being done now in four border areas. that needs to be done in 20. and that has resulted in a 60percent reduction in illegal entry in those four areas. The Menendez amendment does not particularly cover that area.
