I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman and Members of the House. this is another one of the figleaf amendments. Now. this place is starting to look like a fig tree. Every time they bring the bill out. people look at it and say. "Well. this needs a figleaf." We took benefits away from legal immigrants in this country. Now. I went to the Committee on Rules and asked for the right to give those benefits to legal immigrants. and I was joined by the gentlewoman from Florida [Ms.. RosLEHTINEN] and the gentleman from Florida . But the Rules Committee denied that.
