I thank the gentleman and my colleague from California. I sincerely appreciate the leadership that the gentleman has shown on this issue. Perhaps there are not many in the Congress who know that I represent the district that is perhaps the most impacted by our present illegal alien problem or our alien policy. I represent the agricultural part of San Diego County. Let me just give you a brief picture of what is going on in my district. because it is I think very graphic as to the seriousness of the problem. In fact. with my constituents. this is the hottest. most crucial issue in my district. I cannot go home without being confronted by literally hundreds of phone calls and literally hundreds of people who want to talk to me about what Congress is doing on immigration reform. It has reached a crisis in our neighborhood.
