Not only did we not fund most of that bill. breaking many of our promises in it. we passed virtually the same bill but added extreme provisions to criminalize those here. In May of 2006. when the Senate passed an astonishingly better bill. the House closed down the processrefused to negotiate a final bill. Instead. they passed an awful bill last December then spent the summer stalling any negotiation with deceptive "hearings." If the House Republicans were serious about border security. they would have moved forward with a HouseSenate conference on border security and actual immigration reform legislation. Todayin an efiort to appear to have accomplished something. anything related to immigration and border securitywe are considering the same bill we passed twice already. just chopped into smaller pieces. This is what it means to fool people. So. let us remember the old wisdom: you can fool some of the people some of the time. but thank God. you cant fool all the people all the time.
