Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 3, 1994
I think the gentleman did an excellent job of explaining to the taxpaying citizens the responsibilities of running a school system and it is pretty much the same throughout our country. The locals pay for the buildings and the administration, and the States pay for the classroom teachers. What this bill does is put a burden on little towns like Kiln, MS, Bay St. Louis, MS, and Biloxi, MS, that do not have immigration problems, requiring them to fill out more forms. They do not have immigration problems. In fact, let us face it, out of 50 States, how many States really have immigration problems? It is mainly California. If California has a problem, would not that problem be best addressed in the California Legislature rather than the U.S. Congress? I do not solve all of Mississippi's problems here in Congress. They have a wonderful legislature that takes care of Mississippi's problems.

There ought to be a national registry of child molesters and insurance company executives. Because I hold them in the same very low esteem.
