Mr. Speaker. I would like to say a few words about the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1983. The people in my district. like Americans across the United States. are overwhelmingly in favor of the Immigration Reform Act. It is imperative that we take immediate action to end illegal immigration. I do not know how many of you are aware that as many as 10.000 illegal aliens cross our southern border from Mexico into America each day. That amounts to over 3.5 million illegal aliens a year crossing one of our southern borders. Many are returned. but the problem is still monumental. Mr. Speaker. I ask my colleagues: Can our economy sustain such a flood of illegal aliens? The answer is clearly no. I say we must take care of Americans first.
