I hope that. as we consider the motion that is before us and whether or not to shut off debate so that Ridge can offer his amendment. the Members would at least give him the chance he and his colleagues. give them the chance to have their grievances heard. Let us have an upordown vote. This does not do violence to the motion of the gentleman from Massachusetts to instruct. I support that motion. All of us do. I think. We will not change that. However. we do want to add to it language agreeing to the Shelby amendment in the Senate that will disallow the count of illegal aliens for the makeup of this body. Give our legal residents of this Nation our best shot. Defend them.
