That is. we have porous borders in America. The American people understand when they see people show up in their streets. taking jobs in their communities. and when children are coming into their schools and they are born in a foreign country and they dont have the kind of documents that would demonstrate that they have come in through a legal channel. and they start to see 1.000 of them show up and take jobs. and in Iowa. for example. it would be in our packing plants. there is a real large social movement going on. [] 2215 The blastosphere opened up and began to tell America the facts of it all. and some of people came down to the floor of the Congress and made this case. my good friend TOM TANCREDO among those. The people understood this immigration issue long before Congress was able to react. We need to be in a position to lead. not to follow. But this time I think we are following the lead of the American people. and I am happy to do that. although I would like to be a little more up front.
