Ranking Member WASSERMAN SCHULTZ introduced an amendment that would remove the "alien"-related language from the legislations committee report. In fact. four Republicans in the committee joined Democrats to vote in favor of that measure. and the amendment only failed by one vote. So there is bipartisan consensus on this matter. and it deserves debate and a vote in the full House of Representatives so that all of us can take a vote where. for the first timeagain. this is the first time in its historywhere the Congress is legislating on a subject heading of the Library of Congress. and it is to force the Library of Congress to continue using the word "illegal alien" rather than allowing them to do their job and. as they were considering doing. retiring that term. Yesterday. three amendments were presented to the Rules Committee that would allow this to occur. Astoundingly. the Rules Committee rejected all three of those amendments.
