Speech #970256525

And groups across the country have urgently called for revisions to the SimpsonMazzoli bill. I submit below a paper by the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States. The council represents churches and religious leaders from all parts of the United States. H.R. 6514 does not have the support of the Council of the Churches of Christ. H.R. 6514 does not hold the support of many of the American people. I hope my colleagues read the points made in the paper. And then. together. we can act responsibly and refine H.R. 6514 to acknowledge the great importance that foreign policy holds in Immigration reform.
