“I urge this body to take up H. Res. 461 and pass it as quickly as possible. Every year in this country the Federal Government, perhaps inappropriately, spends billions of dollars on elementary and secondary education. These buildings are designed and intended to be funded to teach the young children of this country, and not-so-young people, to read, to do math, to prepare themselves for a job. It has been brought to our attention that local officials all around the country, in an effort to ease the mass invasion of illegal immigrants across our southern border, are now using these schools as a shelter for people, who in many cases--in almost all cases--should not have come to the United States in the first place. I think it is very important that Congress weigh in immediately, since we are providing billions of dollars to these educational institutions, and say no. These educational institutions are to be used for education only, and we are not going to spend any more of that money to support people who shouldn't be here in the first place. ____________________”
