Madam Speaker. today Republicans propose to criminalize those who offer the slightest help to undocumented immigrantswater to the thirsty or food for the hungry. Church members could become felons for their faith. facing 5 years in prison. So if on some silent night. when all is calm and all is bright. a young man and a clearly pregnant woman from out of town ask if they can rest by your manger. be warned: first verify their visas. With similar zealotry to preserve the right to torture. cut food stamps and deny aid to abused and neglected children. these same folks publicly preach that its the rest of us who have forgotten the meaning of Christmas. But this year the Administrations true Christmas tidings seem to be"Neither Peace on Earth. nor Goodwill Toward Men."
