Instead of providing language minorities with the opportunities to learn English. this legislation will cost our Nation one of our most valuable resources--our diversity. I urge all of you to support English Plus. Earlier In the year this House took opportunities away from our limitedEnglish children by cutting funding for bilingual education. Today with the passage of this legislation. we are making the chance for a better life nearly impossible. As a Representative with one of the highest immigrant and language minority populations in the country. I know the difficulties that language minorities face day in and day out. H.R. 123 will have the effect of further isolating my constituents who speak primarily Chinese or Spanish.
