Chairman. I am strongly in support of the other provisions of this bill and I think it is unfortunate that we have allowed ourselves on the committee to be diverted into defending what is basically an indefensible position. The fact is that if this bill is passed the Government is not going to have to resort to seizures to enforce the laws against illegal immigration. because the bill itself is going to dry up most of this illegal alien problem. I would like to say in response to the chairman. whom I greatly respect and who is absolutely correct about the bill in general. that the mere fact there are already similar forfeiture provisions in the law as to other misuse of vehicles is no excuse if this type of provision is wrong. I do not care if there are only 44 cases where rental cars were used. those are 44 carowners who even if wrongly deprived of their rights to their property for only a day. have had an unwarranted injustice inflicted on them.
