They say out there. down the street. wherever they are. in support of the argument. that the House voted to divide the legal and illegal issues. That is very true. The House voted to split their bill. and I assume the same arguments were made about the importance of legal immigration and the need to deal with that separately. Wr t actually occurred in the House is quite instructive. Legal immigration in the House is deaddead. That is exactly what the message was in the Housedead. It will never get the careful and separate consideration that this body wishes to give to the issueperiod. That is exactly what many of those who complain about combining the issues wantdeath. They want to kill legal immigration in all of its reforms. in every form of reform as suggested by the Commission on Immigration Reform. They want to kill legal immigration reform in any form. in any incubation. in any rebirth. in any form in the Senate just as it has happened in the House. They do not want a reduction of numbers. They do not want reform of the priorities.
