They certainly have power to do their will. both in the shaping and the enactment of legislation. Why continue a law which they declare to be so faulty that its partial nonenforcement must be assured by semiannual resolutions passed under the debatemuffling suspension of the rules? An immigration bill which the committee would have been willing to have regularly enforced should have been reported and passed. Because I am inevitably driven to the conclusion that nothing better can be hoped for from the committee or from this Congress. I favor the passage of this resolution and shall stand for the enforcement of the law it continues.
