Madam Speaker. as the ranking member has mentioned. I am a member of the Immigration Subcommittee and also the Homeland Security Committee. As a consequence. I had an opportunity to participate in some of these socalled immigration hearings in the last several months. I must say that the impression that one receives. the inevitable impression. is that there has been a lot of talk. but as they say in the South. not much walk. Unfortunately. I think today is more of the same. Since 1995. when the Senate and House gained their Republican majorities. 5.3 million undocumented immigrants have come into the United States. Since 2001. when President Bush assumed the Presidency. over 2 million undocumented immigrants came into the United States. We have seen 12 years. basically. 12 years of Republican rule in the House and Senate. their power. and basically nothing has happened. Nothing has happened.
