I thank the gentleman for yielding me this time. Mr. Speaker. this is truly a joyous occasion for those of us who work for immigration reform. It has been kind of a rocky road to get here. some people have wondered whether the bill was really a corpse. I guess I described it to somebody as a corpse going to the morgue and on the way to the morgue the toe began to twitch and we started CPR again. We are here. it is not the best way to be here. but let me just say what I have said on this floor 4 years ago and 2 years ago: As long as we attempt to achieve perfection on this floor we are never going to address immigration reform. RON MAZZOLI and I have said many. many times that this is not a great bill but it is the best bill we can have. This is not a great rule. but it is the best rule we can possibly have.
