But I would remind these same people that an open rule killed all chances for reform legislation in the 97th Congress. 2 years later we still have made no progress. The Senate has passed this bill twice. The Immigration Subcommittee and the full House Judiciary Committee have held hearings. The rule provides for debate on 69 amendments designed to iron out some of the rough spots. I sincerely doubt that a few more hours of debate on the floor will change anyones mind on any aspect of this bill. It is now time to move ahead. Those who do not support this rule simply do not support immigration reformfor what ever reasons. With regard to the legislation itself. I too have problems with various provisions presented.
