Mr. Chairman. as someone that has dealt with the issue of illegal immigration in this great House for the last 10 years. I have focused my energy on trying to find ways to stop the unchecked flow of illegal immigration. Initially I was opposed to having legal and illegal immigration combined. but the more I have studied this issue. the more I realize that we cannot deal with one without the other. We are a very generous nation. We allow more people to legally immigrate to this country every year than all of the rest of the countries in the world combined. This bill continues to provide that ability for those to continue to immigrate here. I ask you to oppose this amendment and let us address the issue of immigration once and for all in a way that will stop illegal immigration and we cannot do it without addressing legal as well.
