I rise in support of the gentleman from Californias amendment. In my own congressional district. I have several housing units which receive Federal assistance from HUD that would be adversely affected by the current HUD regulations preventing undocumented aliens from residing in federally assisted housing. This regulation is likely to cause hardships in a number of cases. First. the minority elderly. because they may not have been born in hospitals or due to other factors. may find it difficult to establish their citizenship or immigration status without proper documentation. Second. many families in public housing or section 8 housing units have some members who are citizens or pemanent residents. in many cases these family members are children. Yet. under the present regulations. the entire family would be forced out of their home.
