We care more about them than we do about the person who has come here from a foreign country. It is not that we do not like those people from foreign countries. They come here and they want to take advantage of the opportunity. we applaud them. and we cherish our tradition of immigration in our country. We cherish it. We cherish our immigrants. But we want them to come here and participate in the opportunity. and we cannot do it at the expense. when our own people are down and out. We would have had an open rule that would have permitted us to go beyond this problem and have a vote on this. But instead. what happened? What happened? Their man in the Committee on Rules. a Democrat who was very concerned about the immigration crisis in California. voted for the Republicans. and he was beaten down by his own Democrats and forced to change his vote. We care about the American people. yes. we love our heritage of immigration in this country. We have got to put top priority on our own people.
