Let me tell you what happened. We debated the bill. We spent 5 days in markup. and 4 of those days basically were on border control issues. We debated individual words. Then. all of a sudden. on the last day. when the majority leader said we had to have the bill out. about noon we got around to the amnesty for the 11 million people and what we were going to do about future immigration policies. And without any amendments--maybe no more than one or twothey were adopted in toto. without any real discussion. no expert testimony. no full understanding of the comprehensiveness of it. We just rushed it through.
