Mr. Speaker. if ever there was any doubt that we cannot count on Mexicos cooperation to solve the explosion of illegal immigration at a rate of about 2 million across our borders this year. these doubts were dispelled when President de la Madrid was interviewed Sunday on John McLaughlins television show. "One on One." President de la Madrid. in effect. washed his hands of the whole problem of the entire illegal immigration mess. Mr. Speaker. we can and must bring our borders under control. but in order to do so. we are going to have to pass a solid. strong immigration bill this year that includes employer sanctions and a significant effort to increase the security and the integrity of our borders. Mr. McLaughlin asked the President if his Government was doing anything to control the estimated 2 million Mexicans who will be apprehended after having crossed the border illegally this year.
