On the recordJune 21, 2006
Would the Senator agree, given the fact that the Senate position is often described as amnesty, that indeed amnesty is the current situation of the law--a law that passed in the 1980s that is not enforced by the Government, that is not obeyed by the people nor the employers of this country and which, in effect, grants amnesty to 12 million people who are illegally in this country and that the whole point of the Senate bill is to remove this amnesty under the present condition and return those who are going to be here working in a legal status? Would the Senator think that is a fair characterization?
