If we fail to address the question of how as a sovereign Nation we can best regain control over our borders. we will not have risen to the level of responsibility expected of us by those who have sent us here to face rather than run away from the difficult problems confronting our country. Mr. Speaker. since it is evident to all of us in this body that the normal legislative channels have been closed with regard to any legislation concerning immigration reform. extraordinary relief is called for. It is for that reason that I have filed discharge petition No. 5 providing for consideration of H.R. 1510. the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1983. I urge my colleagues to sign the petition so that we might enable this institution to address the challenge posed to our Nation by the uncontrolled flow of illegal immigration.
