Speaker. I yield myself 1 minute. Yes. big business does want this loophole to stay in place because it is exploiting illegal aliens and bringing down the pay of American workers. who are now having to face competition with people who were not meant to be here in the first place. That is immoral. It is an immoral thing. but our companies want to make a profit at it. fine. let us keep the loophole in place. That is wrong. It is wrong logic. It is not right for the Congress of the United States to be representing the interests of big business and illegal aliens and not representing the interests of the American people in between. Mr. Speaker. we just heard that a person who illegally comes across our border is not eligible for 245(1).
