It is our obligation to decide whether or not his spending of the American peoples hardearned money is. in fact. consistent with the best interests of the American people. Now. I want immigration reform. I want every aspect of it. I have hardworking farm families in my district who cannot live without an effective solution for an outofcontrol farm labor base. Almost every farm laborer in California either is or was unlawfully in this country at one time. We have held up other immigration waiting to try to get an agreement with the Senate. If we do not begin today by creating space in our democracy for the healthy debate between the two bodies over the next 3 weeks. then we have shirked our duty. If we simply shut down and give up. we have shirked our duty.
