Today. we come to put a cover over that torch and a blindfold on that lady and toss all of those magnificent notions of diversity and this great golden door right out into the Hudson. Or maybe it is the Potomac River that we do so today. I rise to express my strong opposition to this restrictive rule. the second in as many days. for a xenophobic bill masked in catchy phrases. such as "border control" and "homeland security." This restrictive rule blocks all but a select few from offering amendments to the underlying legislation. The chairman of the Rules Committee was in here a minute ago and said that they have made more Democratic measures. speaking of the entirety of the session. in order than Republican measures. Well. that does not hold for this particular party in part B. a very confusing process.
