Pete Sessions: “So, also, I would note on behalf of Senator Cornyn's amendment that if prior conduct and convictions were not covered…”

On the recordMay 24, 2007
So, also, I would note on behalf of Senator Cornyn's amendment that if prior conduct and convictions were not covered, you would have an immigration regime that essentially welcomes the following people, and this is not how the immigration system should operate. For example, as recently as 2005--I see my time is up, and I won't go into that. I will just note that Senator Cornyn's amendment as he offered it will meet constitutional muster, and it is not subject to the criticism some have suggested, and please do support it.
