Speaker. I hope our colleagues will take the advice of the Conference of Catholic Bishops and vote against this legislation. Democrats in the House will continue to demand comprehensive immigration reform. which honors our heritage. giving certainty to families. fueling innovation. creating jobs. and reducing the deficit. We know that the Presidents steps cannot be a substitute for legislation. They must be a summons to action. Here in Congress and across the country. we will keep up the drumbeat for the progress of advancing comprehensive immigration reform. We will do so in heeding the advice of President George W. Bush. who told us as we dealt with this issue to treat the people who are affected by it with respect. Republicans should reject this coldhearted bill and give the American people the vote on immigration reform that they deserve.
