I wanted to make the point that we tried mightily in this House last year to bring immigration reform. we passed H.R. 4437. It had a lot of the things in it that would clean up the problems that we have with an enforcement here. internally. domestically. with employment enforcement. as well as border enforcement. That bill. of course. didnt make it through the Senate. The Senate passed their amnesty bill. and we passed our enforcement bill. We came back and we did the one thing that we could agree to. and that was provide the online border security at the fence. That was something the American people wanted and demanded. and it was right. and it was appropriate. and it was just. But the reason that that was the one thing we could agree on. because there is a tug of war going on in this country. a tug of war would be going on between big business that wants to have a supply of cheap labor. and people that want to have a supply. a long supply of voters. or at least people in the United States they can count for the census purpose.
