Mr. Speaker. I would like to express my opposition to the rule on H.R. 1510. I realize the critical importance of the issue of immigration reform. and this is not a decision that I have reached easily. But it is because of the importance and farreaching implications of comprehensive immigration reform that we must not impulsively support a seriously flawed bill. when alternatives have not been given adequate consideration. Mr. ROYBAL has introduced such an alternative. It takes a different approach from that of SimpsonMazzoli. It may or may not be worthy of passage by this body. but it is at least worthy of serious investigation and consideration on the committee level. where most of our difficult problems are addressed and compromises reached.
