And his concerns were described on this floor by the chairman of the subcommittee handling the bills as being trivial. that that is a trivial concern. when the outside special interests want something and the Member of Congress from that district says that it is not in the best interest of his district. that is a trivial concern. we were told on the House floor this week. But this week also brought with it a number of other actions. some of them not on this floor but actions taken behind closed doors which also showed how special interest power is having a devastating impact. how greedy special interests have gotten a handle on the legislative process and are pulling it. and tugging it. and tugging it away from where the American people would wish the country to go. We had a delay on consideration of a bill that many Americans regard as important. the immigration bill. Now. there are many of us in this House. as there would be many people out across the country who are not happy with all aspects of that bill. But the American people. seeing the advent of millions upon millions of illegal aliens impacting on our labor markets. impacting on our welfare system. impacting on the many aspects of our lives. are concerned that we do something to stop illegal immigration into this country. This House has refused to act on that bill. We have been assured on many different occasions we were going to get action on that bill. but this week we learned once again it was going to be delayed.
