Why would you support spending $25 million a year on this program? What do Americans get out of this program? I submit to you that this program is probably one of the best uses of our taxpayers money for one simple reason: when I go home today. people say to me. illegal immigration. do something about illegal immigration. LI 1530 Well. let me say this to fellow Members: if you want to do something about illegal immigration. this vote today. a "yes" vote on this bill. will do more from a practical standpoint to stem the flow of illegal immigration than anything else. James Schlessinger. one of my favorite quotes is a quote of his when he says: "When a problem has no solution. it is not a problem. It is a fact." Well. I can tell you that illegal immigration is a fact. But it is also a problem that has solutions. And the first solution. the first step to solving it we can take today by voting for this bill. Now. why is that? Well. let me tell you about illegal immigration. Let me tell you about Mexico. one of the countries that benefits from this program. It creates small enterprises. small jobs in Mexico.
