I would like the Chair to know that I would like to share the duties of managing this measure with the distinguished ranking minority member on the subcommittee. the gentleman from Texas . Mr. Chairman. immigration policy is an important subject to AfricanAmericans. We know much about the lack of immigration policy and the consequences. and I am happy to hear that somebody somewhere consulted AfricanAmericans about immigration policy. I am not sure what it was they found out. but I would be happy to explain this in detail as we go throughout the debate. I have been in touch with these Americans for many years. It is funny how we get these dichotomies. Some people that do not think much of our civil rights laws. who oppose the minimum wage. who do not have much concern about redlining. heaven forbid affirmative action be raised in dialogue. All of these kinds of questions that involve fair and equal opportunity seem to not apply when it comes to AfricanAmericans. who were brought to this country against their will. but we have these great outpourings of sympathy along some of these similar lines when we are talking about bringing immigrants in. It is a curious set of beliefs that seem to dominate some of the people that are very anxious about this bill. Mr.
