If the gentleman from California [Mr. Rohrabacher] has an objective here, he should attain that objective by amending the immigration laws and putting obligations on local police departments, school districts, whoever he wants to, providing that the money that we appropriate to enforce our immigration laws pay for it. Do not take money that is so thinly spread now that we cannot do the job away from children who are being taught to read and compute math and use it for recordkeeping to do the INS's job for it. If they are going to work for the INS, let the INS pay for it. If you want to do something about tightening up on immigration, let us do it with immigration legislation. Let us not try to use scarce school dollars to do that.
