In an era when we are intent on reducing crime. cutting Government spending. and helping American families strive for a better living standard. relegating thousands of children to a lifetime of virtual poverty as a consequence of their lack of education is morally reprehensible. politically irresponsible. and fiscally imprudent. Need I remind my colleagues of the numbers of organizations. including every major law enforcement organization in the United States are opposed to this measure. They recognize that putting thousands of kids on the streets will not decrease illegal immigration but only promote crime. gangs and drugs. and place enormous strains on the cities and counties that will be forced to deal with these problems. I ask my colleagues. will you feed. clothe. house. and offer work to this generation of uneducated adults? Certainly my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have not fully ingested the ramification of this potentially devastating legislation.
