The original Gallegly amendment was changed substantially. Members of both parties supported that and supported the immigration bill. as my colleague . noted. 333 to 87. Illegal immigration is one of the great problems of our society. California probably gained five congressional seats in the 1990 census as a result of illegal immigration. Under the Constitution it is "persons" who are counted. My colleagues from the east increasingly realize this.
