We have a Constitution. and it should be followed. Mr. Speaker. all of us admire those who have immigrated here legally and have contributed so much to this Nation. We have allowed many millions here legally since the SimpsonMazzoli law of 1986. far more than any other country. But with 58 percent of the people in the world having to get by on $4 or less a day. that means that almost 4 billion people are hoping to get one good meal today and probably arent. We are blessed beyond belief to live in this Nation. but our entire infrastructureour schools. our hospitals. our jails. our roads. our sewerssimply cannot handle the rapid influx of megamillions who would come in a relatively short time if we simply opened our borders. We have to have a legal. orderly system of immigration. and it must be enforced. I urge my colleagues to support this very commonsense legislation.
