Let me address some things that are actually facts out in that real world where we come from. The question of illegal residents of assisted or public housing has been grossly exaggerated in some instances. The last thing an illegal individual wants to do. when you really go around and see where they live and all. is to go anywhere near officialdom because they know that the moment they are near any kind of an official governmental activity. they are going to be picked up and deported by INS. So they stay away. Let me assure my colleagues that in my area. the individuals that are illegal today are in greater number from the Central American countries. particularly El Salvador. than they are from Mexico. for example. where everybody assumes we get the bulk of the illegal flow.
