Mr. Speaker. I also want to talk a little bit about the immigration bill. As I said before. the President didnt create this problem. Quite frankly. the House Republican leadership created this problem. We had the Senate that acted in a good faith bipartisan manner and passed a comprehensive immigration reform bill. That was a year and a half ago. In a year and a half. this House of Representatives has done nothing except come to the floor and demagogue the immigration issue. The debate on the other side of the aisle. quite frankly. has gotten so ugly that it is. I think. beneath the level of dignity of this House of Representatives. We should expect better in terms of the debate on the issue of immigration. I enter into the RECORD the November 20 editorial from The New York Times. which concludes by saying: The right will falsely label Mr. Obamas actions lawless.
