We got it at 9:30 last night. and they plan to pass it tomorrow. quite contrary to the assurances I received from the chairman of the subcommittee and others. and they also. having let us play games. having apparently made us feel good. pretending they were paying attention to us. it seems to me. during the committee process. they then systematically weakened or took out of that bill everything that would protect American citizens against discrimination. American citizens against government error. Mr. Speaker. we do not stop illegal immigration by diminishing the rights of Americans citizens. but that is what this bill does. I do not like the amendment offered by the gentleman from California regarding education. The right of children to go to school the second to the sixth grade does not seem to me a great right. and if my colleagues believe that education stops at the sixth grade.
