First of all. as to the comments by the gentleman from California [Mr. BILBRAYI. in theory there is a great deal of validity to what the gentleman says. But the notion that undocumented aliens. Illegal aliens. are not here in this country working. is a fiction. because employer sanctions in their present state without verification Is a fiction. So the notion that everyone who is here undocumented has children on AFDC is nonsense. pure nonsense. The GAO reported back in 1992 that 2 percent of the funds are going to the children of undocumented aliens. two percent of the funds. That puts it in perspective. Remember what the gentleman from California said.
