And so I looked through a few more of these pieces. and there is language that comes out that is part of their commercial that is designed to convince us that we should be for this bill. And one of the languages is also. here we go. this is from the proponents of the bill. They say rest easy because " no illegal alien should be able to gain employment in the United States." Well. oops. 1 left out one word. "No illegal alien should be able to gain legitimate employment in the United States" once this proposal is adopted. Now. think about that. Mr. Speaker. wouldnt that be the case today. that no illegal alien can gain legitimate employment in the United States today? Because if they gain employment. its illegitimate employment. isnt it? And so this is their commercial. no illegal alien should be able to gain legitimate employment in the United States. Well. none can now. So. you have a series of benchmarks and a series of triggers.
