Yet reasonable people. which we are in this Chamber. can choose to disagree on issues. and this is one of those where we are in disagreement. I respect my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for their varying positions on this legislation. but there is disagreement. I believe most of my colleagues cannot disagree with the following proposition. and it is this: American creditors should not be able to extend any credit in connection with a residential mortgage loan unless they verify the identity and legal immigration status of a potential debtor and verify the status with only a secure ID. Mr. Speaker. this recommittal makes good. solid common sense. The American people do not believe that illegal immigrants and other individuals without proper identification are entitled to the same benefits. privileges and services as U.S. citizens and legal aliens. To extend such benefits only reinforces their notion that the laws of this land exist only on paper. This motion to recommit will help preserve the faith the American people have left with this government and show that we are serious about denying services to those who are not entitled.
