I came to this floor, however, to address the situation of immigration and particularly illegal immigration. The first thing is that the people that have advocated for open borders have, for years now, worked to conflate the two terms ``immigration'' and ``illegal immigration.'' They did that, by the way, if you remember, with ``health care'' and ``health insurance.'' When they conflated those two terms, what they did was they blurred the topic so they can say, anti-immigrant Congressman--I don't want to use a last name because I can't think of one, we don't have any in these 435--X, Y or Z, ``anti-immigrant'' when they really mean someone who upholds the rule of law. We have them from many of the States, but not from every State. We have one who has stood up and defended the rule of law since well before he arrived in this Congress, and he hails from the State of South Carolina. He happens to be the lead deadeye in the entire United States Congress, the man who brought the shooting trophy home again to the House of Representatives Republicans, and a man whom I have known since he was one of a group of about seven who ran in the primary in South Carolina for his congressional seat. I'd like to yield to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Duncan).
