So I think this is all important. and it is time for Congress to understand whom we represent and whom our focus should be on. We want to treat people who come to America well. We want to give them every lawful benefit when they immigrate to America properly. And people who enter unlawfully need to be treated humanely and processed properly. and the laws need to be enforced. We dont want to mistreat those people. But what is it that is critical? What is critical is that we know whom we represent. We represent lawful immigrants and citizens of the United States of America. Our duty is to them. We should establish an immigration policy that serves their interests. Years ago a witness before the Judiciary Committee told that committeeand I was a memberthat. well. if your policy is to do what is best for poor people around the world. it is almost always the right thing to let them come to America. If they get in trouble healthwise. the hospitals will take care of them.
