Chairman. we have been down this road before in this discussion. and its easily something that the other party wants to do in spite of the fact that their local governments tell them they dont want this done. I think the public and all Members really need to understand what this is about. This is about the fact that there are people in this country who are undocumented. Thats a fact. How do you remove them out of the country is another issue. What happens while theyre living in this country is the issue at hand. Now. throughout the discussion on immigration. weve had questions like. if a person is here. undocumented. and they have a child. do you say to that child. you cant go to a public school because your parents are here undocumented? Well. if you think theyre leaving tomorrow or next year. that might work. But if you think that eventually whatever plan we come up with allows X number of children to stay in the country. then you cant deny them education because youre just creating a generation of Americans who wont get education. Then you move on to step two. At times. we have said that if a person is here undocumented. they should not get any kind of emergency medical care. Well. besides the humaneness of that. that we should never deny medical care to anyone. there is the issue of. so do you want the person working at a local hamburger place serving you food while they are ill and not able to treat their disease and the germs they may spread around. That is an issue. This one is really a classic one. This is where you say to your local police department. we want you to enforce immigration law. And just about a unanimous cry throughout the Nation has been from police departments saying. Dont give us that responsibility.
