On the recordMay 4, 1994
But I think there is a real problem here. And that is since you come from a State with a large immigrant population as well, that you have to avoid cost shifting. We talk about unfunded mandates. We don't want to just cost-shift a huge cost on the States and cities. And the courts, as you recall, in Plyler versus Doe, has a requirement that we provide education, even to illegal immigrants. So I think there has to be some balance in this approach, and I think we have to have a standard for citizenship as well.
