Speech #1090140029

Mr. Speaker. I would lilke to thank my colleagues for opening up this discussion on illegal immigration. We heard a few moments ago another one of our colleagues describe Federal spending that is basically out of control at this moment as the single greatest danger to our way of life. I would suggest that one of the reasons that Federal spending is out of control is because illegal immigration is out of control. and we will never have the spending of the Federal Government under control until we stop the massive influx of illegal immigrants into our country. Yes. al Qaeda is a threat. yes. Communist China is a threat. But I would suggest that the greatest threat that is clear and present in its danger to the American people is that of the massive influx of illegal immigrants into our society. an invasion. if you will. of America by foreigners who are coming here against our will. The Senate passed an immigration bill earlier today. The fact that they passed an immigration bill reflects the fact that the American people are now aware of the dangers posed by this incredible influx of illegal immigrants into our country. Yet. we have our government passing legislation like that of the United States Senate. which will in the end do nothing but make this situation worse. The bill that passed the United States Senate is a travesty. It is a cruel hoax on the American people. using the title "Immigration" to let people think that something is being done that will in some way curb this massive influx of millions of foreigners into our country. It will not. It will make the situation worse. and any rational analysis of that bill will lead to that conclusion.
