“as always, over the years, in dealing with this issue of illegal immigration and legal immigration, I appreciated the courtesies and attention of the Senator from Massachusetts. That is evident again. He has a very serious issue he wants to bring before the U.S. Senate. We understand that. I understand that. I would be doing the same were I in his role. I do regret that the procedural aspects of the last few days made it appear that we were doing the business all over here, and that was unfortunate. We moved some amendments without, perhaps, doing the usual procedure of back and forth and back and forth. So we will now go to Senator Graham, and that is the Cuban Adjustment Act rather than the Cuban-Haitian. It is not a Cuban-Haitian issue. It is a Cuban Adjustment Act issue. I will define it as an anachronism, and in other terms, a little later. And then he may, if he desires, go forward with a second amendment to reduce my level of guilt.”
