Mr. Speaker. I listened to the last gentleman in the well and I am a little bewildered because we marked this bill up. it took us 9 days. and we dealt with 103 amendments. 39 of which were decided by rollcall vote. The bill. when we finally got it to the floor. passed 333 to 87 in the House and 97 to 3 in the Senate. Prior to introducing the bill. the House Immigration Subcommittee heard from more than 100 witnesses and the Democrats were present and participated fully. So the gentleman. I think. is mistaken. In any event. this is among the most important pieces of legislation this Congress will handle.
