Mr. Speaker. the failure of H.R. 7357. the socalled Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1982. to pass was a great relief to many people. This was extremely dangerous legislation. as this following letter points out. which should never be allowed so close to Congressional approval again. DEAR FRIEND: We did itjust like I said we could four months ago. We defeated that dangerous immigration bill which would have put many American farmers out of business or in jail while recklessly granting wholesale amnesty and government benefits to untold millions of illegal aliens leaving our nations borders open to virtually uncontrolled immigration. As youll recall. this legislative monstrosity. known as the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1982. was being pushed hard by the U.S. Attorney General and had already passed the U.S. Senate by a vote of 8019. so our fight had to be won in the House of Representatives.
