Speech #980137167

We are not going to shoot people. What has happened is simple. The Speaker of the House has said that he is unwilling. for short term practical political reasons. to deal with one of the most serious problems in America today. which is what do we do. how do we talk honestly among ourselves about the fact that there are literally millions of illegal aliens entering the country. At the same time. he is saying. let us now set up a brandnew unauthorized program which will. in fact. encourage more people to come to America illegally. so. with the one hand. this House is holding out a carrot and saying. "Why dont you move to America so we can take care of you?" With the other hand. this House is saying. "We are not even going to discuss how we control our own destiny." I think it is a serious problem because I think. frankly. that the American people want to see us deal with problems today. Let me talk to all three zones for just 1 second. and I appreciate the gentleman from Pennsylvania yielding to me this time to do so.
