“The Chair is being very forthcoming. Mr. Speaker, I do assume that we will have the opportunity to offer our motion to recommit. Mr. Speaker, I further assume that at some point we will vote on this bill, otherwise, everything the majority has said about why it is being offered would be a little less than honest. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, this supposed compromise bill is a sham. It fails to cover all Dreamers or to provide them with a certain path to citizenship. It fails to end the Trump family separation policy. It revokes critical protections for detained children and families. It eliminates important asylum protections. It makes communities less safe, and it slashes legal family immigration. At every step of the way, this bill attacks family unity. It attacks immigrant communities, it attacks common decency, and it evades fulfilling the pledge of the Speaker and the President that we will solve the problem and allow a path to citizenship for the Dreamers. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record a report by the Cato Institute titled: ``House GOP Bill Cuts Legal Immigration by 1.4 Million Over 20 Years.'' [From CATO at Liberty, June 21, 2018] House GOP Bill Cuts Legal Immigration by 1.4 Million Over 20 Years (By David Bier and Stuart Anderson) The House is scheduled to vote tomorrow on a bill--the Border Security and Immigration Reform Act, the supposed GOP compromise bill.…”
