It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that this bill is under consideration in a futile attempt to save a faltering and failing Presidential campaign. Mr. Speaker. the Gallegly amendment threatened to bring down the whole immigration conference report and so it was excised and relegated to the trash heap. But now. like the phoenix. it rises from the ashes and this House is being asked to vote once again on a proposition that directly attacks some of the most vulnerable in our society. Mr. Speaker. whether these children should or should not be in this country is really beside the point. The fact is that every child. no matter his or her race. creed. nationality. religion. or immigration status should have a desk in a school. Every child living in this Nation should be entitled to an education. Denying the children of illegal immigrants access to education will not solve the problem of illegal immigration and seal our borders. What good does it do to punish children? Is that what this Republicancontrolled. and family friendly Congress is to be remembered for?
