And so this is a smokeandmirrors legislation. It is something to make someone else feel good. Well. we do not come to the Chambers of the U.S. Congress to make people feel good. We come here to pass good legislation. The legislation is to educate our children. to help the States who are heavily burdened by such educational needs. and to be fair to all American children. all children on this soil. and to recognize that this country was founded on the backs of immigrants. I will not be like the Little Rock nine. standing in front of the schoolhouse. keeping children from going to school.
