That is back then when I calculated it. when we had operations going on then. If you can pay a United States marine $8.49 an hour to lock and load and go into a place like Fallujah. you cant convince me that there is work that Americans wont do. especially if it pays an appropriate wage and we respect the work that gets done. So we have a President who has decided he is going to defy the rule of law. and he is going to manufacture law as he goes and create work permits out of thin air. When we see this calamity of the huge hole in our southern border. primarily at McAllen. Texas. the House of Representatives decides it wants to overreact to the President of the United States. and since they are afraid that they will somehow get the blame if nothing gets done in the month of August. they decided to bring a piece of legislation here to the floor. This piece of legislation was written by a staff person that was once that of JOHN MCCAIN. and we know what he has brought for immigration policy. It has been very troubling to me to deal with the legislation that he has supported. but I have this in my hand here on the floor. Mr.
