Mr. Speaker. last week I addressed this body on three separate occasions in special orders concerning the urgent need for immigration reform. Yet. despite my pleas for this legislation. despite the support of the President of the United States and the U.S. Senate. and despite the exploding growth of illegal entries along our border. the House Committee on the Judiciary has answered with stony silence. In this context. a constituent recently sent me a startling article from my hometown paper. the Long Beach Press Telegram. This article is entitled "Undocumented Alien College Workshop Set." Undocumented alien. of course. means illegal alien. The article actually advertises a college workshop for undocumented aliens. If you are an undocumented immigrant and you wish to enroll in a California State university. you wish to find out about employment opportunities or even apply for a scholarship. you can take this course and find out. The article states the instruction will be both in English and in Spanish. the workshop being sponsored by the Compton Unified School District and California State University of Domingos Hills Student Affirmative Action Group. It appears now that we are going to not only not do anything in the House of Representatives. but some local governments are going to encourage more to come across because of the prospect of educational opportunities even with scholarships.
