Mr. Speaker. for the sake of American families. American workers. and American taxpayers. we have to pass immigration reform right now. To secure our borders is a worthy effort. If we secure our borders. we are going to reduce crime. we are going to reduce the number of illegal aliens coming into the country. we are going to protect jobs for American workers. and we are going to save taxpayers billions and billions of dollars. In addition to that. we have to distinguish and say to legal immigrants. we want you if you are going to come to contribute and work and produce. but you cannot come to take advantage of the taxpayer. I urge my colleagues to vote for this conference report. and against the motion to recommit.
