Session #98 · 1983–85

Speech #980209865

I will tell you. It is a means of exploitation. Deception is bad enough. Mr. President. Outright falsehood is despicable. In its petition. the committee writes: "The politicans say we cant afford social security and medicare * * * they dont say we should stop the illegal aliens who cost billions each year." That comes as news to me. Mr. President. as it must to the overwhelming majority of Senators who have voted in two Congresses to enact immigration reform legislation. It comes as a surprise because it is not an accurate representation of the facts. It is demagogery. pure and simple.
