We apologized for slavery over 100 years ago. Who is going to stand up and apologize for the slavery that is incorporated in this budget reconciliation bill? This is really degrading. I stood in defense of some of the rhetoric we heard in this Chamber about the Importance of work. If my colleagues are going to require work. pay the people what they are entitled to receive. Mr. Speaker. I rise to oppose the budget reconciliation bill because it establishes priorities that ignore the needs and interests of the most vulnerable of our constituentsthe poor. the disabled. the elderly. the young. and. yes. our legal immigrants.
