Speaker. I yield myself such time as I may consume. What we are witnessing in the last few days is an effort to make sure somebody believes that we have sincerely worked on immigration rather than going to conference with the two major bills left. We tried during the recent recess by holding a series of hearings across 13 States. to make sure people thought that we were working and concerned about immigration. As the newspaper reports show. it failed dismally. So what we are doing now is to say lets keep the immigrants out. Lets keep them out. Lets keep them out. But lets let them in through the back door. Republicans do not prosecute employers. but then they blame Democrats for talking about other ways to deal with those who are already working here. We all know that letting immigrants in helps corporations and businesses that are using immigrants as the cheapest labor that they can find to benefit their activities. And the reason we are not at conference is because many in our business world need immigrant labor. and the companies that support the Republican Party that says. get tough on immigrants. are the same ones that then turn their back and do nothing. Mr. Speaker.
