These provisions raise constitutional issues in the minds of many. and we on Guam recognize this. But if we are to perfect the meaning of American citizenship for people who are not. who do not and realistically cannot have the aspirations for statehood. we must push the envelope. think outside the box and engage these issues In a meaningful way. Another crucial element of the draft commonwealth proposal Is Guams desire to control its own immigration. It Is the historical and contemporary application of U.S. immigration standards to Guam which drives our need to modify and manage the flow of people who migrate to Guam to make either their voluntary residence or their place of employment. This brings me to what is clearly a painful and uncomfortable topic. and that is recent media reports linking the Clinton administration position on commonwealth and campaign contributions by people of Guam to the Democratic Party. What disappoints me most about these reports Is how they have blurred the lines between Guams contributions and foreign contributions.
