Mr. Chairman. this amendment is redundant. it is not necessary. Current law already prohibits undocumented workers and persons from participating in any National Service Program. The bill. in addition. contains explicit language which states that national service volunteers must be U.S. citizens. U.S. nationals. or legal aliens. What are we going to do next? Are we going to have legislation prohibiting illegal aliens from playing major league baseball or major league basketball. is that going to be next? Are we going to have every bill come out here and say that we are condemning a group of people. some of whom are here legally. some are here illegallythe President of the United States 2 days ago. with an initiative. more money for border enforcement. $182 million. We have had some amendment that many of us here have supported to proceed in that fashion. And now we have another amendment. another amendment that is going to continue to drive home the point that these are the people who are causing the problems in this country.
