My concern is that if this is removed from the bill, deportation notices, particularly in California, will go out in English only, and the great bulk of them go to Spanish. So we are taking out the requirement that it be--just as the Senator said, and as I believe I read--in English and Spanish, but we are replacing that with silence. My concern is that the silence will be interpreted and in English only. Therefore, we will have people who will not be able to read their notice.
