At least. if the other party. the majority party. is going to continue to call themselves the Democratic Party. then they ought to apply democracy in the way they allow this House to be run and the way the rules are applied. The rules are to protect the minority. They have been consistently used to kill the rule of the minority and let the majority prevail. but in this sense they are not even letting the majority prevail. as I believe the majority of the American people as represented by this House does want good. meaningful immigration reform. I compliment the gentleman in the well. as well as the chairman of the subcommittee. the gentleman from Kentucky. for the patience that the gentleman has exercised and the way that he has not allowed his frustration to destroy what the gentleman knows is best for the American people. and that is a meaningful immigration reform bill.
