Education. in other words. a very important component. I believe. of this legislation. And that will ensure that the many agencies covered under the Uniform Relocation Act will understand the complexities of determining eligibility based on immigration status. We have to remember that the issue of illegal immigration stirs very deep passions across this country. And It is a problem that has given rise to appalling examples of avoidance of the laws. as the gentleman has pointed out. but also appalling examples of blatant discrimination. We cannot allow a sensible policy to become a new tool for discrimination against those who may differ from us. If that were the case. as my colleague from Ohio said a little earlier. we are a nation of immigrants. in particular. in the district that I represent. they come from all parts of the world. we would certainly not want to discriminate against people because of where they originated or how they speak English with a different accent. The very diversity that has made this country strong should not be a pretext for treating people unfairly. Again.
