“I support the motion and the amendment. I support it not because it is going to change the world, but it is a gesture by this Congress to the fact that this Congress has done things that have been counterproductive to the working class, and I wish my colleagues on this side of the aisle that say they care about the entry-level jobs were as compassionate about the competition that American workers have to have every day against illegal immigration, uncontrolled immigration that the old Congress not only allowed but practically mandated and encouraged, and I just ask my colleagues to be as compassionate about the entry-level jobs, Americans who are waiting for good jobs, I wish they would care as much about the causes for driving down the fair market value of labor in this country that they have allowed along with some Members on this side to be able to do this. So this is a gesture of saying we have not only not done the right thing, we have consciously caused the fair market value of labor in this country to be depressed by cheap illegal imported labor, and I ask both parties now that say they care about the economy let us take care of that problem, Mr. Speaker.”
