Speaker. I thank the gentleman very much for his leadership on this issue. and I am urging my colleagues to vote "yes" on a modified Gallegly. First. it ends the unfunded Federal mandate that forces States to provide free public education to illegal aliens not yet in our schools. it protects children already in schools as of July 1. 1997. and does not kick anyone out of school. and it guards against creating a new education entitlement for those not yet even in this country. Now. folks. today. we have 35 to 40 children in every public education classroom. We are. indeed. overcrowded.
