Chair. I yield myself such time as I may consume. What I suggested was that. because the majority realizes that the term "illegal alien" is not something that is appropriate to continue to use as a subject heading. if they had spelled it straight out in the bill rather than hiding what their true intention was behind the reference to the U.S. Code. they probably would have had to have answered a little bit more closely to the fact that they were making this effort. Now we have been able to at least have this discussion. and I am intentionally using most of my time to be able to shine a spotlight on the fact that the majority wishes to continue to label people as "illegal." wishes to continue to politicize the legislative branch appropriations bill to inject the immigration debate into the funding of the legislative branch. and to set themselves up as the word police with regard to subject headings. This is what we need our colleagues to wrap their minds around. Mr.
