On the recordDecember 18, 2010
Mr. President, we have it within our power to fix the broken immigration system. Last year, approximately 600,000 people were arrested entering our country illegally. That is lower than it has been, but a determined leadership from the President, from the Congress, can, within a matter of 1 or 2 years, end this problem, and then we can begin to wrestle with the difficult question of those who have been in our country for some time. I thank the Chair and yield the floor. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Michigan is recognized. ____________________
