I am sorry that every time we discuss this we have to be basically called a bunch of names and implied we are the same as the Nazis and everything like that. The American people have a good spirit, and they are very generous people. They do not mind helping. We provide basically a generous, a very generous immigration law so that people can come here legally from all countries of the world, from all races. And I think it is a wonderful thing. And I voted for the last immigration bill, which was a very generous immigration bill. But the idea that they do not want the millions of people who are coming here illegally to receive the same benefits and thus encouraging even more people to come here and dilute those funds, and that makes them some kind of Nazis or Fascists, this is a disservice to the American people and it is a disservice to the debate on this vital issue.
