Mr. Speaker. let me first acknowledge the work of the chairman of the subcommittee which I sit on. the gentleman from Texas for his work in trying to bring forward a bill on immigration. Let me say that I am very disappointed in the rule today because. despite what we have constantly heard over the last 2 years from the new majority about having open rules. this is a very. very closed and restricted rule. Although we have about 32 amendments on the floor for debate. some for only 5 to 10 minutes. we had over 130 amendments that we wished to have heard. and unfortunately very few of those are now made in order.
