However, you cannot judge a bill by what is not in it. You judge it by what is in it. You cannot win a ball game by designing each play for a touchdown. You move the ball down the field. This is just one piece of legislation, a very important piece, which is going to come together next year, and we are going to complete the work with illegal immigration. Do not say this bill is not tough on illegal immigration. We are putting 2,000 more agents each year on the border under this bill. This bill does a lot for us, and all of the other things we have been talking about. It is time to move this forward, come back in the next Congress and pass the rest of it, which has already passed this House by 68 percent, as the gentleman from California said. Vote ``yes'' on this most important bill.
