Speaker. if the gentlewoman will continue to yield. I know how hard the gentleman has worked in an era of civil rights. not because of age but because of commitment. Is it not interesting that we are talking about civil rights for now a new immigrant group. Hispanics. when in the Deep South and many other places there was a chilling effect for AfricanAmericans to vote. 1950s and 1940s and 1960s. There was the poll tax and intimidation. Why are we in 1997 carrying on sort of the same traditions of intimidating people from voting by using INS officers coming to your door investigating nuns? It looks like this country would recognize that with Scandinavians. with new immigrants. with Asians. with Hispanics. AfricanAmericans. I come from an immigrant background. that everyone deserves a chance to participate. It looks like that is what the gentlewoman from California stands for.
