Speaker. throughout this debate. both yesterday and today. my friends on the minority side have been doing their best to try to make this bill unworkable. one of which was their almost unanimous support for keeping the penalties for illegal presence in the United States as a felony. Let me tell you that even though my amendment to reduce those penalties was voted down largely by people on the other side of the aisle. when this bill gets to conference. those penalties will be made workable. You can count on that. Keep immigration reform on track. To secure our borders and to have a secure employer verification system. pass this bill. Vote against the motion to recommit.
