I caution you that this invasion will affect your district. and sooner than you may anticipate. This House has failed in two attempts to adopt a rule for H.R. 3810. Many believe that immigration reform is dead for yet another Congress. This need not be so. I urge the leadership of this House to work with all interested parties in drafting a fair rule that will allow the House to work its will on a number of critical issues associated with immigration reform. Mr. Speaker. the San Diego Union editorial. dated October 2. 1986. provides an excellent commentary on the magnitude of this problem and deplorable lack of congressional action on this issue. I ask unanimous consent to include the entirety of the Union editorial at this point in the RECORD. Mr. Speaker. hope springs eternal. and in the immortal words of Yogi Berra: "It aint over till its over." There is still time for this Congress to pass meaningful immigration reform legislation. I urge this body to act now on this most pressing problem facing our Nation. [From the San Diego Union. Oct. 2. 1986]
