So it is true. as it has been said on this floor. that the American people are complaining about how many dollars they pay in taxes. And it is true. also. as has been said on this floor. that the American people are complaining in many cases about their condition. What is not true. however. and we have to be clear on it. is that the American people were the ones who thought up this idea of turning on permanent residents. on illegal immigrants. and the children who may be here undocumented. That is not true. and the record should show it is not true. It wasnt the people that started discussing that subject. It was talk show hosts and some elected officials in this country who decided that it was easier to come up with an easy target. rather than to sit down and really try to solve the problem of the econoivj..f housing. of jobs. of social services. So now we stand up here and we say that if we really turn on these little children. and we make them spy on their parents. and we try to document every one who is not documented as an undocumented person. that somehow we will be servicing the American people. We are mistaken. The gentleman from California has said that some people have implied that this amendment is mean spirited.
