Mr. Chairman. this amendment says nothing about color. It says nothing about being an Irish immigrant. which I am. It says nothing about being Hispanic. It says that the people that receive these services have a policy not to give services to illegal immigrants. nothing about race. It says illegal immigrants. I resent it about offering an amendment to help people. to help the taxpayers of this country. to be branded in racism when it has nothing to do with that. I very seldom lose my temper. and the gentleman from New York knows that. This is an attempt to save taxpayer dollars and stem the tide again of illegal immigrants. Should it take place in a bill. a crime bill? Yes. 22 percent of the felons are illegal immigrants. not that they are black. they are white. they are Irish. or whatever. but they are illegal. Health care. Look at our health care.
