In this 2minute period. I want to discuss section 605 of the bill. Section 605 of the bill has the title: "No Federal funding for illegal aliens." It is a very brief section. two lines: "Nothing in this act allows Federal payment for individuals who are not legal residents." That is it. So the title of section 605 would have you believe theres going to be no Federal funding for illegal aliens. When you specifically read the section. it just says nothing In the act allows payment. It doesnt prohibit it. Now. if the authors of section 605 really dont want illegal aliens to receive funding under this bill. this section ought to read something like this: "This act prohibits Federal payments for individuals who are not legal residents or citizens." Mr. Speaker. I would ask unanimous consent to substitute the language that I just read: "This act prohibits Federal payments for individuals who are not legal residents or citizens."
