Ms. LOFGREN. worked tirelessly with my counterpart. Chairman KING. to create a good border security bill that had many. many good provisions. but after that bill left our committee. it fell into partisan hands to satisfy the extremist antiimmigrant groups. Instead of giving the American people a Christmas present of a bipartisan bill that would secure our borders in a real and fair way. we are giving them a bill that looks more like a gift from an extremist Grinch who stole Christmas and trampled our Constitution on the way. The Judiciary Committee has loaded up our bill with controversial immigration proposals that are now opposed by nearly every reasonable business. immigration. and human rights group in America. I hope my chairman from New York recognizes this. I know it is difficult. but if you look at the groups that have opposed this piece of legislation. you can understand why it is a bad bill. The Chamber of Commerce opposes this bill. The American Bar Association opposes this bill. The Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform opposes this bill. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops oppose this bill.
