The silence which greets requests from our side says a lot. Members of this body who want to debate issues. who want to vote on issues. cannot. Members of our minority are muzzled. and because they are. so are millions of Americans. Mr. Speaker. we were sent here to work. not wait. We were sent here to vote. not vacillate. We were sent here to deal with issues. not defer them. We Republicans do not want to wait for the Democratic Convention to dictate our legislative agenda. and let us not let the California primary dictate immigration policy. We are legislators. not the lackeys of campaign consultants.
