He is actually accosting. actually committing a crime against the people who are waiting in line overseas. He is favoring those people to break the law over those who stand In line and wait to obey the law. He is siding with the lawbreakers rather than siding with those immigrants from overseas who would like to come here and follow our laws. He is not just protecting the unfortunate people of the world. He is siding with that group of people over those unfortunate people who would obey our laws and come here. The prosecution of Ramos and Compean has not gone unnoticed. as well as the sanctuary cities I am talking about. the actions of the mayor of San Francisco. Yes. couple that with the prosecution of Ramos and Compean. and what we have got is there are good people all over the world as well as some bad people. but good people even who are saying that they can come here now. Lets get to the United States because the United States doesnt have the will to stop us. These are good people. but they will consume our resources that we should have for our own people. and they will depress the wages of the American worker. and they will bring diseases right into our schools that we have a long time ago conquered. And the breakdown of our borders will have been lost not only just to the good people who will flood across and be out of control but to drug dealers who have noticed Ramos and Compean and the Border Patrol agents and also to terrorists. You can bet that the terrorists around the world have noticed the chaos on our southern border. Mr. Speaker. in the coming weeks. Congress will begin debate on the FlakeGutierrez bill. This flawed bill almost guarantees a legalization of the status from 12 to 15 million illegal immigrants already in the United States. The bill requires illegals to pay fines and sit through English classes in order to claim that it doesnt qualify as an amnesty. However. the 1986 Immigration Reform Act required the exact same thing: a waiting period. fines. mandatory English classes. And no one can deny that that was an amnesty bill. The bottom line is the FlakeGutierrez bill. if it passes. you can skip the line. skip it totally. all those people waiting in line overseas. and buy your citizenship for a whopping $2.500.
