They understand people of good will can be concerned about this. we are not a bunch of racists because we want to control our borders. we want to get control of our borders. And people do not come here and consume the benefit package that they worked their lives to build. Anyone from the southwestern States. especially. where we suffer so much under this. no one who votes against this bill says we cannot oven count the number of illegal aliens in our system. no one should come back here and say. "Oh. the Federal Government has to pick up a share of the cost because it is overwhelming our systems." Do not come backbecause a vote like that will be betraying the citizens in our part of the country because now we cannot quantify the problem. Thus the Federal Government can never come back and help us. So. a vote against the Rohrabacher amendment is a vote saying the Federal Government is never going to help us out in the Western and Southwestern States to help pick up the funds. My own solution is different. My own solution would be that illegal aliens should not be given benefit packages at all. But whether you are for the Federal Government providing some help for the States inundated by illegal aliens. or whether you say that nobody. or the Federal Government should be providing those services. you should be supporting this amendment which will help us come to grips with this problem that threatens the wellbeing of our people.
