I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Chairman. I want to thank the gentleman for a very cogent argument in behalf of his beliefs about the incomprehensible complexity of immigration. Now. let me just say one thing. We have got 12 million people here. I support an amnesty provision. like the gentleman from Massachusetts. Now. the first point of logic on this subject would be trying to stop so many millions from coming in. That is not the end of the solution. It is the beginning of wisdom. So we have the fact that we ought to have some sort of protective device. so that Members of Congress cannot go down to the Rio Grande and watch people coming over is the beginning of wisdom.
