As I put it. we are facing hereand I remember the early sixtiesI compare the environment here to what we faced in Texas and in San Antonio 50 or 60 years ago. Little by little. though. perhaps there will be an awareness. When the immigration amendments are considered. even if all of these bills were accepted as written. and with all of the amendments that have been proposed. it would have not one whit of an impact on the problem. because the amendments do not address the cause at all. As some of us have been saying for more than 30 years. unless and until the two countriesin this case the Republic of Mexico and the United Statesactually get together on a binational basis. as difficult as it may be. it will really not be substantially resolved. Yet these amendments. and the thrust of the bills that have been approved in the Senate and in the committees in the House. have absolutely no reference to anything like that.
