Yesterday Senator Schumer and I held a hearing on Senate bill 1070, the controversial Arizona law.

I call up my amendment No. 2082, and I ask unanimous consent that it be modified with the changes at the desk. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The clerk will report the amendment. The legislative clerk read as…

How many terrorists were identified by special registration? None.

You are saying to qualified individuals they will not be deported, but they cannot work to support themselves or their families.

I called for the program to be terminated because there were serious doubts it would even help combat terrorism.

I applaud ICE for issuing its revised detention standards recently.

You have to earn your way into legal status.

It has been in business for over 20 years. It was established in the Hispanic neighborhoods of Chicago as a domestic violence shelter.

This has become such a profiling issue in Arizona that two of our sheriffs... are under investigation.

I believe it is unconstitutional for many of the reasons the Chairman pointed out, which I will not reiterate.

The Arizona immigration law will simply deter undocumented immigrants from being part of the community and cooperating with law enforcement where necessary.

Under our Constitution, States do not have the right to pass their own laws preempting Federal laws on immigration.

SB 1070 would harm law enforcement and encourage racial profiling, going after the very people that you have just met.

Unlike the Arizona immigration law, the DREAM Act is a practical solution to a serious problem which treats these young people and thousands of others in a humane and just way.

This law puts law enforcement in an untenable position.

This law encourages racial profiling.

It is wrong and counterproductive to criminalize people because of their status, their immigration status.

Do you consider Oscar Vasquez a foreign soldier?

I believe it is simply too damaging to our economy and too dangerous to our democracy to have 50 States doing 50 different things with regard to immigration policy.

Police officers are trained to profile behavior--behavior--not people. This law does the opposite.

The one consistent thing is people with a serious criminal record will never be eligible for the DREAM Act.

We are now reaching a point where these DREAM Act students are stepping up and self-identifying.

I have the highest respect for our law enforcement officials. The men and women who get up every morning and put that badge on and risk their lives for me, my family, my community, my neighborhood, my State, and this country deserve our…

The DREAM Act is not blanket amnesty.

If you have brown skin in my State, you are going to be asked to prove your citizenship.
