For Our Immigration Policy To Make Sense, It Is Necessary To Make Distinctions Between Those Who Obey The Law, And Those Who Violate It.

Let Us Heed The Voice Of The People And Recognize Their Common Sense. If We Do Not, We Not Only Blaspheme Our Political Heritage, We Ignore The Common Ties That Bind All Americans.

We Should Face Reality And Our Past Mistakes In An Honest, Adult Way. Boasting Of Glory Does Not Make Glory, And Singing In The Dark Does Not Dispel Fear. King Hussein Reason And Free Inquiry Are The Only Effectual Agents Against Error. - Thomas Jefferson We Have Made Mistakes. In Our Haste To Do All Things For All People, We Did Not Foresee The Full Consequences Of Our Actions. And When The People Raised Their Voices, We Didn't Hear. But Our Deafness Was Only A Temporary Condition, And Not An Irreversible Condition.

The Commission Endorses Prevention As The Principal Strategy To Use In Deterring Illegal Entries. We Applaud The Efforts Of Innovative Border Patrol Leaders Such As Silvestre Reyes With Operation Hold The Line In El Paso.

It Is Reason, And Not Passion, Which Must Guide Our Deliberations, Guide Our Debate, And Guide Our Decision.
