I do not want to get caught in the crossfire of who had or did not have hearings. but there is some urgency to this matter. and it is very uncomplicated. Mr. Speaker. I did not vote for this immigration bill to begin with because I thought it was going to have many of the problems that have come up because it is so complicated. and the border between the United States and Canada is one of the most complex. It is also the longest open. free. unguarded border in the entire world. Every day a billion dollars in goods and services cross the border from Canada to the United States and back and forth.
