We have already met in the past with the various Hispanic organizations in this country and we have drafted that piece of legislation that is immigration reform. It has been introduced for the last 10 years. I have introduced it for the last 10 years and no one has even looked at it. We are going to make another attempt in this coming year. We will meet again with these organizations. We will redraft again immigration reform. We will leave out of that immigration reform anything that relates to the importation of cheap labor. but we will confine our entire legislation to reforming the Immigration Service of this country and reforming the immigration laws of the United States. That is what we want to do. but no one seems to give us an opportunity. I think the gentleman knows that last night there was a meeting that took place. and one will take place this afternoon. where they are going to do everything they possibly can to bring again this immigration bill to the floor after it has been defeated twice. Now. how many times does this House have to defeat a bill before those who want to pass it realize that it is not acceptable? What I do not like about the situation is that those of us who really know something about the problems of inmigration and how it affects thousands of people. particularly the Spanishspeaking people of the United States. were not even invited to this particular meeting.
