         SENATE AMNESTY BILL IS DOA IN FLORIDA'S FIFTH DISTRICT

  (Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. Mr. Speaker, when I was a child and 
I misbehaved, my mother would give me a stare that could curdle milk. 
Believe me, when I saw that stare, I knew how angry she was.
  Well, after reading the Senate amnesty giveaway plan, I now know how 
to give that same look, and so do my constituents. Rather than doing 
what the American people want, securing our borders, the Senate has 
thrown open the barn doors and given away the farm.
  Our Nation already faces huge deficits in Medicare, Medicaid and 
Social Security. Now the Senate and President Bush want to give away to 
anywhere from 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants the possibility to 
get welfare benefits, Social Security and Medicare.
  My constituents back home in Florida work hard each and every day to 
pay their taxes and to keep America strong. In contrast, the Senate 
amnesty plan rewards illegal behavior and gives away our constituents' 
hard-earned Social Security and Medicare dollars.
  Listen up, America. The Senate amnesty plan is a tax amnesty bill. 
This is bad legislation.
