Speaker. I rise in strong support of this legislation. and I commend the gentleman from Texas for his outstanding work. in working so hard to put together a bill that has had very. very difficult times getting different pieces of legislation included. I agree with some of the Members on the other side that I would like to see legal immigration reforms. I would like to see an employer verification system that really will help employers screen out fraudulent documents. But it is time for us to do and see the good things that are in this bill. So I strongly disagree with those who did not get one piece of legislation into this bill that they would like or dislike and are going to vote against the entire bill. which they admit has dozens and dozens of positive. good illegal immigration reforms dealing with cracking down on illegal entry at our borders. dealing with illegal overstays in the country. dealing with cutting off access to government benefits for people who are not lawfully in this country. Mr. Speaker.
