Mr. Speaker. I think the chairman of the committee said quite clearly. we want to have a welcome mat out for legal immigration. but there is a difference between having a welcome mat and being a doormat. Our taxpayers have a right to expect that citizens do have rights and should be first in our priorities for social programs and for the taxpayers dollars. the fact that illegal aliens should not be given preference over legal residents and citizens. Mr. Speaker. if our colleagues from the other side of the aisle want to walk away from this issue. then they are walking away from a major mandate. not just from the people of California. but across this country.
