Mr. Speaker. in a few moments we will begin debate again on a rule which will bring the immigration bill here to the floor of the House. I. along with a majority of the Members of this House opposed the last rule. the last time it came out because it was a. what we considered an unfair rule. it was a gag rule. and one that did not deserve the majority support of this House. However. there have been a great deal of negotiations going on between members of the Rules Committee. the gentleman from California . the gentleman from Kentucky . the gentleman from New Jersey and other Members of the House. and for the first time. they have brought together a rule that I think is acceptable and one that we should go forward with. I urge all Members to look hard at what we have. The alternative is to do nothing. Pass the rule so we can get on with some meaningful immigration reform in this country.
