They have strong concerns about some parts of this bill. and I understand those concerns. I identify with those concerns. But the growing numbers of people entering this county illegally. and the growing perception that our Government does not have an effective immigration policy. has led to a rise. in my district. in many parts of Texas. and in many other parts of the country. of hostility and prejudice toward Hispanic Americans. I have witnessed this hostility increase dramatically in the 4 years I have been in Congress. It has been tearing apart my community. and many other communities as well.
