It is not directed to the law. It is not directed to the border. It is not directed to some highblown new system of reforming our immigration policy. This is directed to reality. There are children in the streets who need to be in the schools. and those children who are in the schools need to be educated. That is what this directs itself to. and it does not make any difference whether *e do or do not pass the immigration reform bill. that problem is still going to remain. And if you want to hold this simple amendment hostage until you can pass some broad immigration reform that satisfies you. you may never address the problem. I suggest it is a way of putting off the problem rather than addressing the problem. I suggest it is as simple as the Presidential proposal of addressing a problem by appointing a commission to study the problem. as the President appoints a commission to study hunger. why people are hungry.
