Mr. Chairman. if the gentleman will yield. I think the point needs to be made because continually I have heard about this double enrichment and unjust enrichment to those school districts across this country that are now under the obligation and under the duty to educate the children of undocumented workers. I think it needs to be pointed out that this amendment. which I support very strongly. unfortunately does not come anywhere near. in fact. it comes to about onesixth of what it takes to educate one of those children. So this amendment. while you suggest it may be taking in more children than necessary. absolutely does not expend more money than is necessary. In fact. in my view. it certainly spends a great deal less. And I think that point needs to be made. Plus the other gentleman who just spoke suggested that somehow we have got to solve the immigration problem with this amendment. That is not the intent of this amendment.
