Chairman. all of us have found that our backgrounds place us in a category that there was a time when we were classified as not real Americans. not one of us here. and so I would ask that the words "real American" be stricken. because I think we will find that most of the people who are here. whether they are here legally or illegally in the year 1989. frankly come from the Americas. whether it is Cental America. or South America. or whatever the case might be. so I would appreciate and hope that those words could be somehow stricken. and I am sure that the gentleman from Pennsylvania did not mean it in that way. However. Mr. Chairman. I would just like to make it clear. I would also like to add that my other colleague from Pennsylvania . when he talked about our forefathers and the Constitution. about the purpose of the census. was not to count persons who are noncitizen. but. if I remember correctly. women were not allowed to vote that privilege was for white men only when that Constitution was put together. Mr. Chairman.
