Speech #1050075917

I am sure there are those that will say if somebody is in the United States illegally by their presence. they have obviously showed they are not obedient to the Federal Governments laws. If somebody is here In the United States illegally. they are not held to the same loyalty standards. which is obviously one of the conditions. With those two conditioning clauses. the children of illegal aliens and the children of tourists who are just passing through fall in the same category as nativeborn Indians did before 1924 when Congress. Congress. had the guts to finally give all Indians automatic citizenship. The children of illegals. of tourists. fall in the same category as children of diplomats. and the Congress. as it had the guts to address the issue in 1924. has to have the guts to address the issue now in 1997.
