I will draw this first debate to a close by again congratulating the Committee on the Judiciary. Chairman SENSENBRENNER. as well as the Committee on Homeland Security and Chairman KING for bringing this comprehensive bill before the House today. As I stated in my opening remarks. the problem of illegal immigration poses multiple threats and must be addressed in multiple ways. and I am pleased that this bill before us today goes a long way and is a great first step to attacking the problem. both from the supplyanddemand sides of the equation. as well as from the security side. Mr. Speaker. through both strengthening our borders and diminishing economic incentives for illegal immigration. we stand a much better chance of truly reducing this problem in a meaningful way. And. yes. we do intend. in an expeditious manner. to address the issue of a solution for the existing 11 million illegals. most of whom are working hard to support their families. Again.
