Speaker. when we hear talk about regularization of status. what we are really talking about. and people should understand this. is someone who is in this country illegally. The fact that the AFLCIO has again abandoned its defense of the rights of the working people of the United States. the citizens of our country and the people who are here legally. does not surprise me but it should surprise people on the other side of the aisle. However. that big business wants to hire illegal immigrants and give them the jobs does not surprise me. One of the things that is wrong about illegal immigration is that it takes jobs away from the people of the United States. We should not permit that to happen. We should watch out for our own people. Who do we care for? We are supposed to be caring for the citizens of the United States and people who have come here legally and people who have respected our laws. Second of all. this instruction of conferees clearly. just as in disagreement. the word "disagreement" is right there in the motion. with what the Senate is trying to do. and that is a permanent extension of this amnesty for illegal immigrants. Mr. Speaker.
