Speaker. I rise today to share with you the statement of the Pacific and Asian American Center for Theology and Strategies (PACTS). I hope that my colleagues will take into consideration the PACTS opinion and think about it as immigration reform legislation comes before us. The statement follows: Pacific and Asian American churches throughout this nation are deeply disturbed by the reintroduction of the SimpsonMazzoli Immigration Reform Bill before proper consideration has been given to the new immigration bill proposed by Representative Edward Roybal. We stongly urge you to withdraw the SimpsonMazoli Bill. We recommend instead a new round of Congressional hearings to thorougly gather testimony and evidence from the public.
