I think that is what the message is that is going out today. that we are not going to cow down to a blatantly unfair process that is arbitrarily set up by some in high positions in this House that would stop the democratic process from going forward. I say this is a tremendous bright day in the history of this House. I would predict that if immigration does not come back to us this year. and I think that the chances are very good that it will come back this year. but if it does not. it is going to come back with the enthusiasm that we are seeing now that is being shared by the Members of the House trying to turn out some meaningful drug legislation. The American people know there is a problem out there. and they are going to insist on their body. the peoples body here in the House of Representatives. turning out some meaningful and good legislation in this area. I know the gentleman from California has been in the leadership of this fight. as has the gentleman from Kentucky . and I am sure that. even though you are split today on this rule. that you are going to work together and you are going to come out and that the Rules Committee. after they get over the loss they have suffered today. or the vote of no confidence that they have received today. that they would come forward and if not in this Congress. in a future Congress. craft a rule that will give this House an opportunity to vote on good meaningful immigration reform. Other than the question of drugs. there is no domestic legislation that I feel is any more important than immigration reform. I hope the gentleman will continue the fine work and the fine fight that he has been putting up. It is nice to see David beat Goliath once in a while in this House. and that is exactly what happened here today.
