Chairman. I would say to my friend from California. this is a system that is working backwards. We spend millions and millions of dollars in border patrol and INS and signs at the border saying "Do not come across." It is illegal to cross into this country illegally. It is illegal. But yet once they get here. we say once you have run that gauntlet. we are going to give you all kinds of services. That is an oxymoron in itself. The American public is saying that we want a priority. we want a priority on American citizens for limited dollars. and our deficits are going up. We want priority on those that are legally immigrating into this country. that those services are being taken away from. We want priority for our chronologically gifted people. because they are taken away from Medicaid dollars and they are taken away from welfare dollars we are trying to get down to help those people. It is working backward. and we are saying that has got to come to a stop.
