Mr. Speaker. In my part of the country we know what illegal immigration means. So I will listen today with a mixture of anger and amusement to all the things said here today by the experts who. for more than a decade. have paid no attention to the complaints and cries of alarm to those of us along the border. Unfortunately. the bill before us today does nothing to solve the real problems of immigration. In fact. it Is worse than nothing. It is worse than nothing because it tries to fool the public. It pulls the wool over their eyes. It pretends we are doing something to secure our border. when in fact we are doing nothing except throwing words and money at the problem. Anyone who really cares about a solution to our immigration woes knows that border enforcement is one prong of a threepart solution. The first is enforcement. border enforcement and employer enforcement. Second. you have to have some means of allowing those who want to work and are willing to work come into the United States legally to work on a temporary basis. And. third. you have to deal with the 10. 11. 12 million people illegally in this country now.
