Mr. Speaker. I have been listening to this debate and I must admit I am a little confused about whether or not illegal aliens are going to be able to vote under this bill or not. I think what I heard a couple of minutes ago was the gentleman from Washington tell us that the current law would prohibit illegal aliens from being able to vote. and therefore we were protected because that is current law. But then I thought I heard the gentleman from Louisiana say the bill we are now taking up would in fact change current law so that we would now be in a position that illegal aliens would be able to register to vote. because the law that we are about to pass would change the current law. So it sounds to me as though either current law does not apply any more once the bill is passed. or we are going to end up here with a very confused legislative history. Can the gentleman from Louisiana tell me. if this bill passes. do we wipe out the current law that the gentleman from Washington says protects us?
