Speech #980140237

Speaker. despite the virtual unanimous agreement across a broad spectrum of American society. among labor unions. business groups. newspapers. veterans. environmentalists. Republicans. Democrats. average Americans of all stripes. that our borders are completely out of control. that our immigration policy is no policy. despite the years of hard work by a bipartisan group of Senators and Representatives. the Speaker of this House unilaterally decreed that we in this body will not even have an opportunity to debate and consider the immigration reform bill. a bill. I might add. that has already passed thc other body. We are told there is no constituency for immigration reform. Who is kidding whom? I cannot buy that and certainly the American people will not buy that.
