Mr. Speaker. if the gentleman will yield further. I just want to inform the gentleman and my colleagues that since the Speaker has announced that we have no national problem and there is no national constituency for an immigration bill. somewhere around 120.000 people have been apprehended coming into this country illegally. most of them on the southern border. and for every one that is apprehended. between two and four successful entries are made. so that would add up to more than a congressional district that has come into the United States since the Speaker informed us that we do not have any reason for it. so if we continue this pattern. perhaps by the end of the Congress we will have enough people here to add 10 Members of Congress to deliberate on this bill next time around.
