Speaker. I yield myself 1 minute. I just wonder if the gentleman was reading the papers back in 1986 when the House of Representatives under Democratic leadership took up the fundamental immigration law for the first time in many. many years and passed legislation making it against the law for people to hire illegal immigrants who are in this country. The gentleman gave us a pretty hard time there talking about how all the evils of the world are a result of the fact that you could not get the Gallegly amendment up on the floor. The fact of the matter is we passed about three immigration bills in the time that I have been here which is 14 years.
