Our government. the United States Government. encouraged the folks of South Africa to put photographs of the candidates on the ballot so that they would know who they were voting for because they couldnt read. E] 1515 Can you imagine us doing that here in the United States. even though it would facilitate peoples ability to vote? Yet here we are trying to confuse this issue with the issue of immigration. illegal immigration. when it has nothing to do with that. The majority of voters protected by section 203 are not even immigrants. Section 203 provides language assistance to cover United States votingage citizens who are not fluent in English. According to the 2000 census. threequarters of all voters covered by section 203 are nativeborn votingage citizens in the United States. So this notion that this is somehow a part of the antiimmigrant movement is just a fallacy. We need to be doing whatever we can to enable our citizens to vote. and this amendment goes in the face of that. I think we should oppose it and move on with the passage of this bill.
