Mr. Speaker. a short time ago. the Democratic leadership of the House of Representatives thwarted a bipartisan effort to commence debate on immigration reform. This action by the majority leadership demonstrates a blatant disregard for both public opinion and the urgent need to deal with the problems and effects of uncontrolled illegal immigration. The broad spectrum of groups and individualsdemanding to be heardhave nonetheless been denied that opportunity because Democratic leadership continues to ignore their plea. I bring to your attention the fact that the other body has overwhelmingly adopted comprehensive immigration reform legislation. Yet. Mr. Speaker. you have unilaterally determined that those of us in this Chamber will not have the opportunity to consider this issue.
