Chairman. I think the gentleman has made several very good points. As the gentleman knows. as the chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration on which I serve. and of whom I am very proud. I have been a longtime advocate and in somewhat disagreement with the gentleman over the issue of direct and 100percent reimbursement of the States educational costs for refugees and also for those who come in here if we legalize anybody. But I think that this amendment is too broad. I think it is inappropriately offered at this time. I think it is much better that we deal with the issue in the immigration bill and in the refugee bill that are up before this Congress and that we target the type of reimbursement that we give to those that we put into some form of legalized umbrella. We have got a lot of ilegals in here today. in this country. Nobody knows exactly how many.
