Now. its not the fault of those workers in the passport office. Theyre working as long as they can. as hard as they can. but those people that run the passport office. the Federal bureaucrats. never were organized enough to make sure that Americans. in a streamlined process. could get passports. So now the laws not going to be followed until the passport service gets it together. and thats very unfortunate because the problem is were going to use this same department. the immigration service. to socalled legally legalize the 12 to 20 million people in the amnesty bill. the socalled Z visas which are very complicated to understand. something that will take a lot longer to process than a passport. So the Z visas for 12 to 20 million illegals will take forever to process if we ever go to that service. What Im saying. Madam Speaker. is we deal with the border first. Second. we fix and streamline the immigration service so it doesnt discriminate against people who are coming to the United States legally. that we make it efficient for Americans to travel abroad. And once we fix that problem. then down the road we deal with the third issue. the issue of what to do with people that are here illegally. Until we take it in that order. until Congress addresses those three respective acts with three bills. we will never solve the problem. And a massive. socalled immigration reform bill. the American public is suspect and skeptical of that plan because. frankly. I dont think the American public trusts the Federal Government to do the job of securing the border and reforming the immigration service. But we know that the Federal Government does have the capability to grant amnesty to people that are here illegally. So. hopefully. Congress will do its job. get organized. pass thaee separate b~ills so that we have border security: that we have an efficient. workable immigration services. and then down the road. we deal with what to do with the people that are here illegally in the U.S. The American public expect tt. They have expected it for a long time. and its time for us to get about the peoples business and resolve these three problems as efficiently and quickly as we can.
