As Chief of Police Jerry Sanders of San Diego wrote in his June 25 letter to Congress: If the proposed legislation becomes law. thousands of children may be turned away from school. Many of these children will be drawn to trouble or victimized by it. and I believe that both gang activity and juvenile crime will increase. I hope you will take these factors Into consideration. and I encourage you to oppose the legislation. Expelling children from school and dumping them on the street is no solution to the problem of illegal immigration. and is not even a partial solution. It will only make other problems worse. The cost to America in crime and other social costs will be immense.
