Ive not had any input in this bill. There has not been any amendments to be allowed. We could not look at all the 9.000 or so earmarks in this bill to see if they were justified. but I do want to tell the American people. because one of the things other than spending too much of their money has been illegal immigration. Now. that is a high topic. and I want the American people. and I think this is very important because every town hall meeting I have and I dont know about you. every town hall meeting I have. every teleconference I have. the hottest topic that we have is illegal immigration. Now. this should really at least let the public know the priorities that the majority party has. $10 million in this bill in that 3.500page bill over there. $10 million of it went for emergency spending for defense attorneys for illegal immigrants. $10 million of that bill goes for defense attorneys in emergency spending for illegal immigrants. yet we did not fund our troops in Iraq one dime.
