The rule made 23 amendments a part of the bill with no debate or no vote. It made another several dozen in order for debate. It rejected even more. The procedure was irrational. Therefore on the procedural questions. the previous question and the rule. itself. I shall cast a vote against the procedure. We should have worked on this bill a year and a half ago. If we must work on it now. we need a relatively open rule. The choice is with the House leadership. It can work on. and pass. an immigration bill. Or. it can kill the bill. by attacking the burden of this unacceptable procedure.
