But this time I think the Senate ought to say: "You are not going to come out of conference stripping an amendment which passes here 90 to 10 or 93 to 6. We are not going to allow that to happen." We will instruct our conferees that this amendment will stay I think people will have difficulty imagining why it should not. I can say to you that illegal aliens. people who are here illegally. will not be entitled to Federal direct financial benefit exceptand please hear this. it is almost like it is not even being consideredexcept for emergency health care and is now amended. schoolrelated benefits. They will be taken care of. if they become ill. for emergency health care. Of course. I have shared with you the rest of it.

So many of my colleagues over the years have argued that the Federal Government does not adequately control illegal immigration. I have heard that argument from my friend from Florida over the years. and he is right. I have heard it from my friends.
