Speech #1040194410

I hope to bring up more of those items. talking with the constituents who are being taxed by this Congress under the guise of taxing the rich. when It is the working class that Is getting harmed by this unfair and unjust legislation. Mr. Speaker. another item that is unfair and unjust is that we have been trying to address this last week the fact that this Government of the United States has in the past rewarded people for coming across the border and breaking our Immigration laws and then getting welfare. free education and free medicine. to the point where it is costing the State of California immense amounts of revenue. and the Federal Government has been walking away from this expense. The people in States across this country are paying this expense because the Federal Government has ignored it. Mr. Speaker. with the passage of H.R. 2202. Mr. SMrrHs bill.-we are finally now seeing this Congress recognizing Its responsibility under the constitution to address the fact of illegal immigration. But there Is one part of the Illegal immigration issue. Mr. Speaker. that has not been addressed. Mr. Speaker. I will just ask that we all consider the fact that giving automatic citizenship to children of Illegal aliens is a problem we need to address. My bill. H.R. 1363. will address that. and we hope to work on that in the very near future.
