In the election next door, the gentleman from California, Mr. George Brown, he won with 17 more votes than the gentlewoman from California, Ms. Loretta Sanchez, 17 more votes; the same type of mix of ethnic populations.

No. This is absolutely the first time in the history of this country, in this House, when they have used the powers of the INS, the Immigration Service, to go back and question people how they became legal citizens.
