I would like to suggest that members of the Homeland Security Committee and Committee on the Judiciary all have participated in what we call the "heavy lifting." As a member of both committees. I know that there are individuals. well intentioned. who had come together to try to construct. if you will. a reasonable response to this pending and ongoing concern that Americans have expressed. But let me tell you why this rule is fractured and why the underlying bill needs to be returned back to not only the Rules Committee but the committee in order to put together for America the real comprehensive immigration reform that I hope legislators will bring to the floor of the House. as opposed to political sound bites. It is well known that America is asking for the enforcement of our immigration laws. but they are not asking for enforcement only. They want a comprehensive reform package that provides a pathway to citizenship and legalization and enforcement. As someone who comes from a border State. and particularly Texas.
