It was too watered down. It was a giveaway to New York City. Texas. and rich developers who simply wanted to protect their projects. It was a giveaway to affluent urban areas and a failure for rural America. This morning we had the benefit of some enlightenment as to how this happened. I have an ABC News report stating that more than $30 million was spent this year alone in a lobbying effort against the reforms-$30 million. Mr. President. I ask unanimous consent that the ABC News article entitled "Lobbyists Declare Victory After Visa Reform Measure Dies Quietly" be printed in the RECORD.
