Yet it is now common knowledge that I was right and that these agents are responsible for a tax rebellion among the people which no one seems to know how to solve. The response of the Congress has been to pass yet more repressive legislation. And now under the guise of stemming illegal immigration. which all of us want. many leaders of this House are prepared to again choose to use repression against the people of our country. Are we perhaps slipping into a way of thinking more suited to a different form of government than this Republic? Are our people wrong to ask why we are at pains to treat thugs and career criminals with solicitude. only to turn on the honest and hardworking person and use the Government to crush him? Whenever it is offered. I urge the defeat of any measure whose main feature is more brutal attacks on the people of the country. We can control immigration. if we want to. without brutalizing human beings and without making employers a whole new criminal class. H.R. 7357 should be defeated and redrafted under better circumstances in the new Congress.
