Mr. Speaker. let me ask the American people how much they love America. I know Americans love America giving all that they can give. an America that has opened her heart and mind to immigrants from all over the world and built a great nation. an America where everyone is proud because we have welcomed those from around the world who have fled oppression and persecution. Why. then. do my friends on the other side of the aisle want to have the scapegoatandrun policy for immigration. and that is refusing to stand and address the question that we all have come from somewhere and contributed to this Nation. And then. of course. we want to secure our homeland because we love America. Why dont we have meetings. or a conference committee meeting in order to address the House and Senate bill so that Americans know that we care about securing their homeland. but yes. we recognize that the Irish and the Polish and those who come from Hispanic origins or Africa or the Caribbean or European heritage have all made this country great. A pathway to citizenship. border security. not scapegoat and run. that is what America is all about. They want leadership and courage. they dont want anyone who stands for doing nothing. LI 1030
