I cannot be certain of your standing in our society. I know if the choice is between an individual whose skin is not white. I will take the person whose skin is white because the chances are he or she isnt an undocumented alien." This provision may not be used in a discriminatory waymay not bebut there is a chance that it will be and there is a chance that it will be in many areas of this country. As to Presidential certification. this body has been willing to have that on a wide variety of issues. basically in the foreign policy area. All we are saying in this amendment is that the President of the United States must certify. after 3 years and after he reviews the information. that he makes a finding that it is not being used in a discriminatory way and then it will continue.
