GALLEGLYS amendment. and we could have given ourselves a little more time. it seems to me. Mr. Speaker. we do oppose this rule and the legislation it makes in order. the conference report on the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. By waiving all points of order against the conference report and its consideration. this rule allows the leadership to bring this measure to the floor fewer than 24 hours from the time it emerged from the conference committee. Hardly anyone besides the majority Members and staff who worked on the conference report knows much about its specific provisions. We know that it does not contain Mr. GALLEGLYS amendment on educating children of illegal immigrants. which is. we think. good. That is. it is good that it does not contain it. but that is the only provision that has received much attention in the press. We are being asked to rush to judgment on a matter that needs far more deliberation and discussion than it will have prior to the vote on final passage.
