Johnny Isakson: “Facts are stubborn things. We can argue about a lot of things, but treating people right is something Senator Chambliss…”

On the recordMay 22, 2006
Facts are stubborn things. We can argue about a lot of things, but treating people right is something Senator Chambliss has been doing in Georgia, what I have grown up in Georgia doing, and I am sure what the Senator from Massachusetts does. The argument here is about repealing a law that has the unintended consequence of making it attractive to hire illegal aliens to work. What this bill is supposed to be doing is fostering legal immigration and equitable treatment for all. I commend the distinguished Senator from Georgia. I commend the chairman of the Agriculture Committee. I pledge my support to this amendment and congratulate him on this effort. I yield back the balance of my time.
