I am very glad to have the gentleman yield to me. but especially glad to have the gentleman take this time today. The gentleman from California and I have served for the last 6 years together on this Immigration Subcommittee. shared the frustrations we are talking about today. but I thought in light of the conversation just had that the gentleman would like to know something that I did experience this weekend. I happened to be before a group of young people at one of the Hugh OBrien Foundation meetings. a sophomore class group. There were about 200 of them in this group in Florida. and I had on a panel for unrelated purposes. not related to immigration. a college professor. Somehow the subject of immigration came up and he wanted to drag that thing out. He took a thesis and started to turn on me with these young people. taking the thesis that Americas borders ought to be completely open. there should not be any objection to anyone coming in. let all the Mexicans come into the United States who want to come in. what is wrong with millions coming into the United States? He said if that happened. then we would not have any problem. The point I want to make is that he got the most negative response out of that audience you would ever believe. I have not discussed the issue with them. They are sophomores in high JSE 9547 school They know about the immigration bill. They know about the fact that we just cannot take in this many people without doing something to the quality of life in America and we have got to start resolving that issue. We have gotten the point across is what I am saying.
