Chairman. it is amazing to me that a party that claims to be trying to win Hispanic votes attacks us time and time again. Worse yet. today they are attacking our children. I hope that every Latino in this country hears this message loud and clear. We do not count with the Republicans. our children do not count. and our future does not count. Why else would bilingual education come under attack year after year? Already. Republicans tried to slash $75 million for bilingual and immigrant education. 22 percent for fiscal year 1998 funding. and this is in a bill that provides disaster aid to flood victims. Todays move makes perfect sense for a party that plays politics with virtually every issue. Well.
