Speaker. I agree and endorse and associate myself with the comments of the gentleman. I think that we will be making a great mistake if we pass legislation dealing with immigration and then feel that the job is done. It will not have been done. I do not think there has been a more vigorous advocate in this House of strict sanctions prohibiting the employment of illegal aliens. people that are here without documentation. without permission in this country. but at the same time. I feel like that those of us who are strongly advocating employer sanctions. prohibiting employment of people who are not citizens or who are here illegally. have a responsibility to inform our colleagues and to try to engender action in this House that will deal with the fundamental problem which is the fact that Mexico needs to have our active assistance as it tries to grow economically. or we will never solve this problem. The characterization of the gentleman about immigration legislation ultimately as being about like putting our hands up against a waterfall is partly apt. I think our goal must be to stop the waterfall.
