James Traficant: “In America, Communists can work in our defense plants, illegal immigrants who jump the fence can get citizenship, there…”

On the recordApril 23, 1998
In America, Communists can work in our defense plants, illegal immigrants who jump the fence can get citizenship, there are law libraries for mass murderers; some want free condoms for school children, and some now want free needles for drug addicts. Think about it. Free condoms, free needles, but in America, no school prayer. Is it any wonder the streets of America are full of narcotics and blood? The founders believed that a Nation without prayer would be a Nation without God. I agree. The Congress should pass school prayer. I yield back the balance of any common sense left in any of the politicians in Washington, D.C.
