Speech #980178723

Mr. Speaker. in the next few weeks. the full House may consider H.R. 1510. the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1983. As we debate reform of U.S. immigration policy. we must consider the impact of unrestrained illegal immigration on our States and localities. An article appeared in the Wall Street Journal last week which discusses the financial burden imposed on California for providing health services to illegal aliens. A recent State court decision entitles illegal aliens to MediCal benefitsa decision State health authorities say will cause their costs to skyrocket. I commend this article to my colleagues attention. [From the Wall Street Journal. Apr. 3. 1984)
