Dianne Feinstein, 1993, speaking out against illegal immigration

"It's a competition for space," she said during a presser at the time. "Whether the space is a job, the space is a home, a place in a classroom, it becomes a competition for space. This is a country that's based on immigration. And we all know that. And yet, at times you become so overtaxed you have to concentrate on saying, 'The people who should be here are those who come legally at this time.’ And we've got to, for the time being, enforce our borders."
