I believe that we should make sure that amnesty Is provided to anyone who may have technically broken the law. and especially if they broke the law at the behest of others. because right now there is an ongoing criminal investigation in Orange County that will work its way through the grand jury and may. in fact. present us with evidence before we are finished with our task as to exactly what happened for those who engaged in a criminal conspiracy of voter fraud. Based upon that evidence. a contested election contest was brought to us. and we have pursued. although argued unconstitutionally. affirmed by a district court. reaffirmed by an appellate court. that the process that we have been following is. in fact. according to the statute. It seems. therefore. somewhat incredible to me that one of the whereases is that we have requested the agency charged with monitoring documented aliens in this country. the Immigration and Naturalization Service. to assist us to determine if these individuals are. in fact. citizens. But. in fact. as Members may know from our previous discussion. the Department of Justice was unwilling to cooperate in the investigation. We were forced. on May 14. to subpoena the records. It was not until June 23 that the Immigration and Naturalization Service began responding to us. Notwithstanding the whereas that says that the INS has complied with the committees request. the gentlewoman from Oregon needs to know that that whereas is simply wrong. The INS has not complied completely.
