Mr. Speaker. yesterday. the Judiciary Committee began hearings again on the issue of immigration reform. and again the legislation it is considering. H.R. 3080. includes amnesty for illegal aliens. There is no doubt that the American people want immigration reform and there is no doubt they want to see an end to the problem of illegal immigration. But there is one more important thing. Mr. Speaker. the American people do not want amnesty for illegal aliens or any lawbreakers. For those Members of this body that cant bring themselves to supporting H.R. 3080. there is an alternative. H.R. 2267. a bill I introduced in April of this year. This legislation does not contain amnesty for illegal aliens. but does include substantial increases in manpower for the INS and employer sanctions. I invite my colleagues to take a close look at H.R. 2267. It is time to regain control of Americas borders.
