This is a very sad day in the history of the House. Although on even relatively simple bills we have generally taken time to carefully deliberate on issues and ensure that ample committee and subcommittee review has taken place in order to prevent excessively flawed bills from taking up our limited floor time. unfortunately. the process by which this bill has been considered has been markedly different. There has only been one hearing in the Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims and this bill is now on the floor. There have been no hearings on the Subcommittee on the Constitution to determine what effects this bill may have on Voting Rights Act protections. There have been no hearings before the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Social Security to determine if citizenship verification proposed in -the bill is a practical idea.
