The fact Is the $1.000 will be recouped by many of these individuals if they have minor children who were born here in the United States while they were illegally in this country. Now. I think it is quite unfair that there are those 31h million people waiting patiently to immigrate who are not offered this kind of option. Their children are not given automatic citizenship. their children are not offered automatic welfare benefits. and they. by paying $1.000. do not automatically qualify for public assistance and welfare in the United States. Mr. Speaker. I think that it is time that this Congress has the guts to stand up again. like it did last year. saying that the days of rewarding illegal immigration are over with. the days of punishing those who played by the rules are over with. Mr. Speaker.
