This Nation. Mr. Speaker. is involved in a very intense national debate on what some will say is the issue of immigration. but those people are really trying to obfuscate the issue because the issue really is illegal immigration. I have not heard debate in this Congress. Mr. Speaker. about legal immigration. In fact. we seem to be universal in our support of legal immigrants who come here to the United States. They do it the right way. They follow the legal channels. those people that want to come here for a better life. and understand that the welcome mat that has always been rolled out here in America is rolled out for legal immigrants today. We encourage them to come. and we encourage them to engage in American life and to throw themselves into it with all their heart and all their soul and to assimilate into this American way of being. And the more quickly it can happen. the more effective they can be.
