Madam Speaker. I thank the gentleman for introducing this legislation. I am a granddaughter of immigrants to this country that couldnt speak English. They had no education when they came to the United States. The only thing they had was a dream. and that dream was that their children and their childrens children would lead a better life here in the United States. My father has a 9th grade education because he had to quit school in order to support his widowed mother and five brothers and sisters during the Depression. So my father had no education and my mother graduated high school. but the one thing they stressed in our home was that their children would get a good education.
