Mr. Speaker. there were 19 amendments filed with our Committee on Rules. These were thoughtful. responsible amendments to improve this bill by reducing opportunities for voter registration fraud and corruption. creating a bipartisan balance and ensuring that illegal immigrants are not pushed onto our voting rolls where they do not belong. The chairman of the subcommittee reporting H.R. 2. the gentleman from Washington. actually came before our Committee on Rules and said that since the House had passed something like this bill four times over the past 3 years. there is no need for free and open debate. This. of course. ignores the fact that 110 new Members. fullfledged Members of the House of Representatives. have never debated or voted on this issue at all.
