Speech #1090118497

There are businesses up and down the same way. When this proposal faced the light of day. we understood it easily. There were other controversial provisions that we wisely dropped. provisions that would have exposed those who provide humanitarian reliefmedical care. shelter. counseling. and other basic servicesto undocumented aliens to possible prosecution under felony alien smuggling provisions of the criminal law. If somebody is running a food bank or a shelter for battered children and women and they give aid. they help people. they feed the hungry. if you have an order of nuns who feed the hungry. under those circumstances. they faced a chance of being charged with a crime. For shame. for shame.
