The first thing they did in Six for 06 was take away the incentives to encourage domestic drilling and. in fact. place a tax on gas production. and. thus. decrease the availability of American petroleum to replace our b~urden on foreign petroleum. They proposed a cutandrun theory on dealing with the issue in Iraq. which. if we cut and run. would turn over the second largest oil reserve in the world to Islamic terrorists. They propose now. out of the Senate. to open our borders to the illegal aliens that are already here and to put together a policy which would encourage more illegal aliens to come across our borders and consume 20 million peopies worth of oil and gas in this country. These are the things that they are criticizing the Republican minority for causing the gas prices to go up? But that all just gives you a picture of where we are going right now. Now the Democrats have come ou t of the Senate. remember. they are th e majority in the Senate. too. and thiey have come out with a proposal to. they say. solve our immigration crisis. I want to say. and I have told this to the White House. and I have told it to my colleagues here in Congress. and I tell them again. the American people want a solution to the illegal immigrant problem. Thats where they see and know the crisis is. and they are saying you have the tools and have had the tools to do something about this problem for a long time. over 20 years. and nothing has been done. The American people see this as a crisis. and they are right.
