So if you want to make sure that those currently enrolled continue to get the health care coverage. then youve got to vote for this. And if you want more children to be enrolled. then you have to vote for this. On the issue of legal immigrants. I agree. I think all of us here agree that the legal immigrants should be included. The reality is there were not enough Republicans who agree. The Republican leadership has been awful on this issue. And the Republicans in the Senate have said that adding a legal immigrant provision would have killed the bill in the Senate. That is the gentlemans party. Let me also remind Members of this House that you had an opportunity to vote for an SCHIP that covered legal immigrants. That is what we voted on here in the House. and you all voted "no." You voted "no" on that. You voted not to extend coverage for those legal immigrants in this country. those children of legal immigrants. So Im not quite sure what youre trying to do here. other than trying to delay this process so we dont get this bill passed. Mr.
