On the recordSeptember 28, 1995
if Members want to know how we make cynical voters; if they want to know how to make people hate the system, it is that we mislead them about what the system did. Nobody was mistreated under this system. Those people that voted for 187 and those that voted against 187 are being protected throughout this process. The initial question of whether or not we should enjoin the law before we find out its impacts and who it will hurt and is it the Constitution, one individual deciding that is not a crime. Three individuals may be better or worse, but that is not why we are here today. We are here today because people have chosen to trash the Government rather than explain the Constitution and explain to people that sometimes might does not make right. We are one of the few countries where that is the case. Mr. Chairman, 5 million people voted Their views are being acknowledged. We have changed our attitudes here. We have changed the laws on immigration. The State legislature has done the same, and a lot of things have happened since that vote, but it does not necessarily mean that that vote is constitutional. People have a right to seek a review of that.
