Session #97 · 1981–83

Speech #970042985

I would remind those who argue this that Congress attempted to correct certain oversights and various abuses on two occasions in the last 7 years. the last time being just last year. Neither one of these reform packages helped the situation. Why should we believe that 1981 will be any different? For instance. the projects continue to provide legal services to illegal aliens in spite of congressional prohibitions of such activity. To justify their disregard for the law. the LSCs Clearinghouse Review stated in November 1979: The effects of this legislation will be very limited. It is apparent that the intent of Congress was to limit services only to aliens who have received a final judicial determination that they are not legally present in the United States.
