Speech #1040191285

Mr. Chairman. we overcame it. Today. once again we worked for two. virtually a year and a half now. trying to put together an immigration bill everybody can be for. There are two dealbreakers in it. one is this on education. and one is the deal on hospitals. And then the Speaker of the House. unable to resist political opportunity. comes to the floor. the Speaker of the House comes to the floor and makes a speech about this one amendment and talks about liberals this and about how we have these evil illegal aliens that are taking away our childrens education and so forth. It was. in my view. a performance beneath the rank of the Speaker. It was. in my view. a performance designed to make this into a political opportunity instead of a bipartisan bill. and he may have succeeded.
