“I want to use this time to compliment the gentleman from Iowa for the fact that he has introduced the most moderate, the most logical and I think the most American bill when it comes to the immigration issue. This is something that really, really hits to the core of the problem and doesn't blame the immigrant, but goes to the source of illegal immigration, and that's the illegal employers who are exploiting them. I think if there was one place that Democrats and Republicans should be able to work together, that all Americans could agree on, that this Congress, this month, should eliminate the absurd situation to where illegal employers get to write off the expense of hiring people illegally in this country and be able to have the Federal Government subsidize their commission of a crime when they hire somebody who is not legally present. And your bill is right to the core of what the American people are asking for, Democrats, Republicans and independents, saying, come on, why don't we get together in Washington and do the right thing and eliminate these absurd situations.”
