Mr. Speaker. there is a story that my grandfather used to love to tell about the time he immigrated from Ukraine to Hamtramck. The town was filled with Polish and Ukrainian immigrants. And one time. one of these people from the old country robbed a bank. He was caught right away. but he did not have the money on him. And he didnt speak a word of English. The police chief got an interpreter. sat them both down in the jail. and told the interpreter. "Ask this man where the money is." The interpreter asked. but got no answer. The chief took out his gun. placed it on the table. and said: "You tell this guy he better answer or hes in big trouble." The interpreter asked again. but again. he got no answer.
