Speech #970226757

On August 13. I introduced an amendment to the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1982 to provide Federal educational assistance to those school districts most affected by large concentrations of alien and refugee students. The impact of the recent Supreme Court decision mandating free public education for all children. regardless of those individuals legal status in the United States is a matter which concerns me greatly. I believe that this ruling will place severe financial burdens on many of our Nations school districts and may well limit the overall educational opportunities which a district can provide to its students.
