               PROBLEMS WITH SENATE IMMIGRATION APPROACH

  (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, I rise today to speak 
out against the Senate's amnesty plan. Their bill is fundamentally 
unfair as it benefits only those who came to this country by breaking 
our laws. No illegal alien is left behind by this bill, because it 
gives aliens in-state tuition rates at colleges.
  Further, the Senate bill would allow 217 million new immigrants to 
come here over the next 20 years. That is two-thirds of our current 
population. Some of my constituents have been sending me bricks 
suggesting that they go toward building the wall on our southern 
border.
  When constituents have to step in to help send bricks to Congress, 
obviously they feel very strongly about the immigration issue. 
Actually, Americans should start sending bricks over to the Senate, and 
I hope that they do. However, the problem is they probably will not 
mail them. They will be throwing them at the Senate.
