Mr. Chairman. the HunterMoorhead amendment is a necessary step. Admittedly. money is not the answer to our immigration problems. and I regret the fact that my distinguished neighbor. the chairman of the subcommittee. and my equally distinguished colleague. the gentleman from Kentucky. are caught up in the middle of a debate here. but I say to the Members of the House that what we see here today is an insurrection under parliamentary procedures in the House. This is not a California problem. this is not a Florida problem or a New York City problem. this is an America problem. and the Judiciary Committee lackadaisically has failed to address the need for effective controls for the illegal alien problem for years. This gentleman comes from a State as far away from the coast as possible. but I say this is an American problem. and we representatives of the American people are here today to be heard for them. If we take a look at the number of Members gathered around here today. surely it must understand that we can keep a cap on immigration reform. especially the control of our borders for only so long. The leadership of this House. and particularly the Judiciary Committee of the two bodies. have failed to address the problems of illegal aliens and the effective control of our borders and refugee problems that are confronting the country. It is time that the Members and its American people be heard. and that is why so many Members want to speak on behalf of this amendment today. Mr.
