Speaker. I rise on this occasion because it will be the first and really the last opportunity to do so before the recess. and because of the fact that what I have to say I believe is long overdue. and is especially appropriate on the eve of celebrating our Independence Day tomorrow. As we look over the length and breadth of our land there are areas in our country where the July 4th celebration will be celebrated hardly at all because of the furtive existence by thousands. some say hundreds of thousands. and others assess it at more than 1 million peopleto the illegal aliens who have come to our Southwestern borders and beyond because. once they reach the perimeters of our border and cross it. these individuals go to those areas of our country where they find economic opportunity. for much the same reason that I feel all of our ancestors came to this country. Unfortunately. we live in a contradictory period of time. and very little attention is being paid to what I consider an enormous problem to our country. Very little is being said and very little attention is being paid to it. and yet it has the makings of one of the most serious. disturbing and disruptive circumstances in the future for our country and for our neighboring Republic to the south. the Republic of Mexico.
