I thank the chairman for yielding me the time and for his kind words. Mr. Speaker. a bill that began as a bipartisan effort to address a very difficult problem for our country. the problem being immigration and illegal immigration. has at this stage. I think it is fair to say. degenerated into a bill that is now going to be a partisan contrivance designed to somehow isolate certain Members and make them subject to political attacks and maybe try to do the same thing to the President. I heard the comments of the gentleman from Texas a moment ago about the difficulties this country faces with immigration. I agree with every one of the things he said. But the problem is that the bill. apparently. the conference committee proposal that will be taken up tomorrow. the provisions within it do not address the problems.
