Well. today. Mr. Speaker. brings us to a point. a point within this great national debate. an issue that was envisioned again by our founders. and we have a constitutional responsibility here in the Congress to establish an immigration policy. Our founders envisioned it. it is referenced. and it is our duty to have this debate and to shape a policy that is good for America. We are having a national debate. finally. and this national debate is a national debate that was. as I recall. called for by Pat Buchanan in 1996. Mr. Speaker. when he said we must have a national debate on immigration. He knew then and I knew then that this issue was getting out of control and out of hand. It was only 10 years since SimpsonMazzoli. the 1986 amnesty legislation that was signed into law by President Reagan.
