But now there are those in our area who say that we should have no infringement. that if you are a member of one family. that river should not mean anything. they should have the privilege to come and go. And there are many who espouse the proposition that there should be no immigration process at all. that if you can prove that you live in the area and fate made the river a juridical boundary. that should not apply to you. Many who cross that river still feel that way. Now. there is also concernand I have seen it in my area in letters to the editorthat maybe we should not allow anyone to cross. that maybe we should put the Army out there or put the Marines out there or someone from one border to the other to keep everyone out. But we are integrated to such an extent economically and familywise that when Mexico now. for example. is suffering tremendous economic upheavaland they have tremendous problemssince Mexico is such an integral part of not only our area. but of the United States. their security and their economic stability is an integral part of ours. Members may ask. why do you bring all of this out in this immigration reform law that we discuss? Because it impacts on the economic stability that we have. It impacts on the economic on both sides of the river.
