We can pick through these piles forever. Then. of course. remember how this is happening. You are talking about legal immigrants. I did not see much activity on this floor to do much about legal immigrants. There will be a million of them next year and they will all be fitting right here. and nobody. at least the vast majority. decided to do nothing with the flow of legal immigrants.

The Federal Government is here to support those peopleand it should. I encourage my colleagues to read the bill. We provide an exception for indigent immigrants whose sponsors cannot be located. We have it in there.
