Speaker. I thank the gentleman for yielding me this time. The most important bill in my district for this entire Congress is the immigration reform bill. I serve a portion of San Diego County. and we are impacted more than anywhere that I know of. I voted in favor of the previous question. much to the consternation of many on my side. I voted in favor of the rule for one specific reason. That was because I was convinced that it was the only way to get immigration reform to the SenateHouse conference committee. I do not favor the Schumer amendment. but I knew that the Wilson amendment would be in conference. I knew we had to get the bill to conference if we were going to have it successfully signed into law.
