It is not because of the final product. but the way in which the rule actually came about. I have worked closely with the chairman of the Financial Services Committee. and I know that he is a fair individual. and actually in committee he supported several of my amendments and gave us the opportunity to have that vote be held. It is no secret that we have an immigration crisis facing us in America. It is also no secret that Americans are angry. Like most Members. my office was flooded when the President and the Senate attempted to ram another amnesty immigration program down our throats. According to a recent Rasmussen poll. 56 percent of Americans surveyed support an "enforcement only" approach to immigration reform and 44 percent of Americans opposed the Senates amnesty plan. Yesterday my colleagues and I offered several amendments that would bring accountability to the section 8 housing program under HUD. Not surprisingly. the majority broke their promise of openness in the House and yet again did not allow them to be considered by Members today.
