Mr. Speaker. my friend and colleague. the gentleman from Montana . suggested that the problem has been taken care of in the National Endowment for the Arts. and that is why my amendment to prevent illegal aliens from receiving any of the dollars that come through the National Endowment for the Arts is unnecessary. Mr. Speaker. if it was not necessary. there would not be the opposition to having this amendment on the floor. The American people are too smart to take that kind of an answer. It if is not necessary. why oppose the amendment? Let us Just have it on the record that we oppose illegal aliens getting any of these dollars. Mr. Speaker. that is not the reason why my amendment was not permitted. My amendment was not permitted because of politics on this side of the floor. You will find this in issue after issue after issue. that the Dembcratic Party is unwilling to say that taxpayer dollars should not be going to illegal aliens. And there will always be some excuse for not permitting us even to vote on the issue. Members will find this in the very next debate.
