Political Quotes

“Mr. President, our amendment does basically two things. First, it would strike sections 111 through 115 of the bill, which would currently begin to implement a national identification system. Second, the amendment would strike a related provision, section 118 of the bill, which would require State driver's licenses and birth certificates to conform to new Federal regulations and standards. Mr. President, I intend to devote at least my opening statement here today to the first Senate provisions that we seek to strike with this amendment, those which pertain to the national identification system. That said, Mr. President, let me just begin by making it clear that those of us proposing this amendment consider the hiring of illegal aliens to be a wrong thing. We think wrongful hirings, no matter how they might be brought about, are not appropriate.”
