When the people of California find out the betrayal that has happened to them. they too. I believe. will be so angry that it will overflow and be at least reflected in the upcoming election. The President tonight had better start worrying about the State of California. because they are not going to elect a man that has betrayed them and lied to them so blatantly as what the President of the United States has been doing on this issue of immigration. I would like to congratulate the gentleman from California . It has been a long. hard battle for the gentleman from California on this issue. When I first came here in 1989 he pulled me aside to talk to me about this issue. He has been struggling all these years. Until we had a Republican majority in this House. we were unable to get any type of meaningful immigration reform through this body. He has struggled so hard. Mr. Speaker. we fought and we have worked for the last 2 years under a Republican majority to come up with a good bill. to come up with something that the Democrats would not block. because it would be so reasonable to the people of this country. Now we have the President of the United States threatening to close down the Federal Government if we pass a meaningful immigration bill. the same President of the United States who went to California and proclaimed. promised the people of the State of California. that he would do everything he could to confront this challenge to our wellbeing.
