the more people learn about Ted Kennedy's immigration bill, the less they like it. Let me give you four examples. First, before we build a border security fence on our own U.S. property, we must first consult with the Mexican Government to make sure it is okay with them. Second, using a fake Social Security card is a felony in this country. If an American citizen does it, he goes to jail. If an illegal alien does it, he gets to collect Social Security benefits based on past illegal conduct, and even gets a chance at citizenship. Third, when it comes to in-state college tuition, illegal aliens get it, but U.S. citizens from out of State pay higher tuition rates. Fourth, illegals who become so-called guest workers would get the higher union-level prevailing wage on private construction contracts, something even U.S. citizens don't get. Mr. Speaker, we should first secure our borders and enforce the law, not appease the liberal constituency of Ted Kennedy by accepting his pathetic bill. ____________________
