The Dole bill exempts school lunches. WIC. emergency Medicaid and certain other noncash programs. But if we are to avoid forcing the Nations clergy and teachers and social workers to become immigration police by demanding green cards of their clients. we need to do more. Rather than list individually the additional programs which should be exempted from the bill. my amendment leaves the decision to the Attorney General in consultation with the head of the agency or department administering the assistance program. In that way. before a program is exempted from the bill. the law enforcement perspective of the Attorney General. together with the benefits perspective of the agency providing the assistance. will determine the decision.
