Mr. Speaker. I have spent the past year speaking every year in this Chamber about the damaging effects of our broken immigration system on our security. our economy. our families. and communities. We started with such great hope at the beginning of this Congress. But here we are in the final hours of the 113th Congress. and instead of moving a piece of legislation that the majority would put forward to address the underlying problems with our immigration system. we have before us another symbolic. superficial vote that will fix absolutely nothing. Mr. Speaker. this bill will not strengthen security at our borders. including the most important gateways that are rarely mentioned. at LAX. Chicago OHare. or JFK. This bill will not address the labor needs of our agricultural industry or tech industry. This bill will not protect American workers by implementing EVerify across the board to make sure there is one legal labor force in America. paying their fair share of taxes and fully protected by American labor laws. This bill does not do that. This bill will not answer the pleas of U.S.
