America. The President and Congress are not watching out for you. The comprehensive immigration legislation that is being bandied around town by this President and by Members of Congress will be a green light to 100 million people throughout the world to do anything they can do to get to our country because we do not have the will to stop them. No matter how impenetrable the defense. no matter how diligent the border patrol. there will be no stopping them. Give them benefits. give them jobs. give them health care. give them every right to the treasures that belong to the citizens and legal immigrants who are in our country and they will come from overseas. and there will be nothing that we can do to stop them because we have given them the greatest incentive to come here. even though they are breaking our laws in doing so. Tens of millions of new illegals are bringing down the wages of our middle class. some carrying disease right into our schools and communities. some criminals. many in need of Social Security. education and health benefits. all to be taken. of course. from the resources that are dedicated to Americans so that our American people and legal immigrants will have these resources available to them. That is where all of that is going to come from. Who is going to pay the price?
