I know that the members of the Rules Committee and the members of the Appropriations Committee have somewhat been under a mandate. maybe even a gag order. by the leadership. but I would say there is huge hypocrisy and irony in this. Another important amendment that I offered has to do with the Basic Pilot Program. And Ill ask you this: Do you think that people who do construction for the Federal Government should have legal employees. or should they be allowed to have illegal aliens? Well. we know and the Chair would be interested to know about the situation in ~3. Pt. 12 17057 California. because its been such a hot debate out there. and the folks who have been building the fence. that the folks who are constructing the fence were busted for having illegal aliens to build a fence to keep illegal aliens out of the country. That is absurd. Similarly. we see this all over the place on Air Forces bases and Federal Institutions. where contractors come in. and after close scrutiny we find they are hiring illegal aliens. What the amendment would have done. which I believe would have wide bipartisan support. simply says that you need Social Security verification if youre going to do business with the Federal Government. No big deal. except for in this town and in this Chamber somehow that might offend some of our K Street friends. or should 1 say some other peoples K Street friends.
