My Colleague Sen. Rick Santorum, Pennsylvania Republican, Erroneously Suggested That I Support The Teaching Of Intelligent Design As An Alternative To Biological Evolution. That Simply Is Not True. ... Unlike Biological Evolution, Intelligent Design Is Not A Genuine Scientific Theory And, Therefore, Has No Place In The Curriculum Of Our Nation's Public School Science Classes.

Immigrant Families Have Integrated Themselves Into Our Communities, Establishing Deep Roots. Whenever They Have Settled, They Have Made Lasting Contributions To The Economic Vitality And Diversity Of Our Communities And Our Nation. Our Economy Depends On These Hard-working, Taxpaying Workers. They Have Assisted America In Its Economic Boom.

That Is A Pretty Big Deal From A Commitment Standpoint.
