The people of California have been crying for this support. and the issue. the issue of where we were 3 months ago with a 333 to 87 vote. how many votes do we have in this body that we get that many folks to agree on? Just let me finish this. and I will be happy to yield. Three hundred thirtythree to eightyseven this body voted to support this immigration bill including a provision. unmodified provision. that would allow the States to deny a free public education to those that have no legal right to be in this country. Since that time we have modified it to the point of giving a grandfather clause to all of those in K through 6 and those in 7 through 12. watered it down considerably. and now even with a much more modified version the President of the United States is saying he would veto something that almost a 4 to 1 margin in the House supported. a strong bipartisan vote. and the people of California in an initiative 2 years ago voted by almost a 2 to 1 margin. It appears to me the President of the United States. if in fact he really is talking seriously about a veto. is not listening to the people of California.
