I think they are instructive. They are remarks of today. October 5. 1983. when they said: Until yesterday there was something remarkable about the immigration reforms that have developed in the past 5 years. They have been truly nonpartisan. Putting the United States back in control of the borders is an idea not limited to either the liberal or conservative canon. A bill to do that has won wide support from both parties. but yesterday Speaker ONEILL killed both the nonpartisan spirit and the bill saying. "I do not think there is a constituency out there for it." The Speaker of the House deserves respect as a canny politician. but that reasoning could stand elaboration. No constituency? After 3 years of work. a blue ribbon Federal commission urged the immigration reforms. That at least suggested the start of a constituency. A Republican Senator.
