Hearing to Review Issues Relating to Immigration and Education. Hearing before the Committee on Education and Labor, House of Representatives. One Hundredth Congress, First Session (Los Angeles, California, September 28, 1987).
Congress of the U.S., Washington, DC. House Committee on Education and Labor.
This document comprises the testimony, prepared statements, letters, and supplementary materials presented at a hearing before the House Committee on Education and Labor on the implementation of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and its impact on the ability of the states to provide basic services to the newly legalized alien population. Among the issues addressed are the following: (1) what is the ability of the educational system to meet the needs of not only the newly legalized children, but of the adult population as well; and (2) how can regulations for administering grants to reimburse the states for the costs of providing additional resources to legalized aliens be improved to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of the billion dollars of federal funds appropriated for this purpose? Most of the individuals who testified are education professionals working in locations with a high proportion of immigrant and non-English speaking students. (BJV)
