I yield myself 1 more minute. The fact is. as one who has served on the Immigration Subcommittee for a number of years. I know that Congress does not act on these piecemeal provisions. and I daresay I do not believe it would act on this piecemeal provision. It only deals with the issue when there are dramatic public policy questions before it. as they are with regards to the numbers now with undocumented aliens. Mr. President. citizens in this country who fear the risk of discrimination and who have felt the whip of discrimination in the past are entitled to this kind of protection.
