The threats, made in letters from Attorney General Janet Reno Janet Reno (born July 21, 1938) was the first and to date only female Attorney General of the United States (1993–2001). She was nominated by President Bill Clinton on February 11, 1993, and confirmed on March 11. , Labor Secretary Robert Reich and Education Secretary Richard Riley Richard Wilson Riley (born January 2, 1933), American politician, was the United States Secretary of Education under President Bill Clinton as well as the Governor of South Carolina, as a member of the Democratic Party. and expected to be delivered to Senate Republican leaders today, came as the Senate opened debate Monday on a bill aimed at cracking down on illegal aliens and limiting some public benefits to legal immigrants. Neither the provision on farm workers nor the one on public education is in the bill now, but Republicans are expected to offer one or both as amendments this week. Both issues resonate in California, a crucial battleground in the presidential election where agribusiness supports a new source of cheap farm labor. The administration contends that the provision on farm workers would cause a new wave of people trying to enter the country illegally.

Wilson served as the thirty-sixth Governor of California (1991–1999), the culmination of more than three decades in the public arena that , a Republican, wants the authority to deny them a public school education. The administration, backed by teachers unions and police organizations, say such a step would dump thousands of children onto the streets and send crime rates soaring. The House, behind Speaker Newt Gingrich's strong endorsement, already has approved the measure. ``Reject Speaker Gingrich's grotesque attempt to make Uncle Sam the bully in the schoolyard,'' Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said on the Senate floor Monday. The education provision is so sensitive that Sen. Bob Dole, the majority leader and almost certain Republican nominee for president, is considering keeping the measure off the floor and dealing with it when the Senate and House reconcile their different bills in a conference committee later this year. The House last month approved an illegal immigration bill similar to the proposed Senate bill, but soundly defeated efforts to limit legal immigration. As a result of the House action and the Senate Judiciary Committee's decision last month to deal with legal immigration in a separate bill, many Democrats and Republicans are likely to try to tack amendments dealing with legal immigration onto the bill now on the floor. |
