I thank the gentleman for yielding time to me. Mr. Speaker. in 1 minute. let me just say this is something that needed to be done. The American people want immigration reform. We have given them immigration reform. It is good in many respects. It falls short in some respects. but it is not over. There is going to be addressing of these problems for many years to come. but we made a good start. We will be bringing people out of a shadow economy. people will be paying taxes. people will be coming out in the sunshine. there will not be the abuse of workers. employers will not be able to provide poorquality jobs for people. they will not be able to oppress people. sanctions will keep a magnet from attracting these people hereall of those things we know.
