Mr. Chairman. the problem we have in a place like southern California. especially where the gentleman is from. is that it is awfully difficult to determine for an individual who is providing services to an individual in need. to determine whether or not that person is legal or illegal. As the chairman of one of the major committees. here in Congress. stated one time. if he got on a bus and he drove from point A to point B. because of his looks he would probably be stopped by the Immigration five times and taken off that bus. simply on looks alone. That is the problem the gentleman has and that I decried in my statement. is that the gentleman is going to restrict people that are providing service for victims of floods. for victims of earthquakes. for victims of any number of things. Then the gentleman has to understand that he does not stand there and ask for the green card. That has nothing to do with stopping illegal immigration. I would author. with the gentleman or with the gentleman from California
