Mr. Speaker. I cannot vote for the immigration bill because of a provision that was added in the final minutes of the final day of this Congress. The provision that was added had been deleted from the bill in the House Judiciary Committee where I serve. That provision allowed individuals with sufficient wealth to invest that wealth in the United States and thereby obtain a visa and eventually citizenship. Some argue that this is good for Americas economy because we would invite the kind of investment that stimulates Jobs. Other countries. we are told. have similar programs. But this is intolerable for me.
