I am just so angry tonight that I am almost beside myself, so it is hard to contain my anger. When the people of California find out the betrayal that has happened to them, they too, I believe, will be so angry that it will overflow and be at least reflected in the upcoming election. The President tonight had better start worrying about the State of California, because they are not going to elect a man that has betrayed them and lied to them so blatantly as what the President of the United States has been doing on this issue of immigration. I would like to congratulate the gentleman from California [Mr. Gallegly]. It has been a long, hard battle for the gentleman from California on this issue. He has been struggling all these years. Until we had a Republican majority in this House, we were unable to get any type of meaningful immigration reform through this body. We fought and we have worked for the last 2 years under a Republican majority to come up with a good bill, to come up with something that the Democrats would not block, because it would be so reasonable to the people of this country.
