Speech #870303089

I introduce. for appropriate reference. a bill for the relief of Mother Azucena de San Jos6. who was born Carmen Hernindez Aguilar. Only once before have I ever taken the time of the Senate to discuss a private bill. This is such an unusual case that I feel it should be brought to the attention of the Senate by some remarks made in the RECORD. This case points up once more the harshness and inhumanity of some of the provisions of the present immigration laws. Mother Azucena belongs to a Roman Catholic religious community known as the Mothers of the Helpless. The Mother House of this community is in Spain. where Mother Azucena was born.
