So it has taken a year for this bill to reach this moment of truth. The other body passed its version of this bill in May of last year. Mr. Speaker. the rule which makes in order the consideration of the Immigration bill House Resolution 519. is. I think. accurately described as a modified open rule since it does make in order some 69 amendments covering every conceivable issue and alternative. The rule itself was the subject of 2 full days of hearings in the Rules Committee. on April 5 and 11 of this year. during which we heard from some 47 House Members.
