come and Medicaid) to legal im-
migrants in the country for less
than five years, a large percent-
age of whom live on the Jewish
Community Campus in Oak
Park. Resettlement Service is
looking at the potential impact
on immigrants, including the 314
who came to America in the last
fiscal year with help from the lo-
cal community.
Right now, Federation work-
ers are gathering statistics to tal-
ly the number of individuals
facing cuts in federal funding. In
addition, they are checking and
rechecking the language to see if
there are possible loopholes.
Rachel Yoskowitz, director of
Resettlement Service at Jewish
Family Service, said the num-
bers will be complete only after
the law is thoroughly understood.
"We are trying to assess what
the impact will be," she said. "It
is not a matter of fighting the
law. The law is the law. But un-
til we see the exact language, we
can't anticipate what we will
need."
In the meantime, Jewish im-
migrants, mostly from the for-
mer Soviet Union, continue to
pour into Detroit.
"Fifty-three are expected this
month alone," she said. "That is
a pretty good number."
Communal workers are wait-
ing to see how state legislators
react to the new funding power
placed in lawmakers' hands.
State legislators, expecting
federal action, recently enacted
legislation designed to handle the
new funding. However, the fed-
eral law's fine print, including
changes for the immigrant com-
munity, was not anticipated in
great detail in the state law.
ThejeWish Cothinurrity Coun-
cil, headed:by:David Gad-Harf,
plans to set up a meeting with
state legislators in the coming
weeks to assist them in under-
standing the plight of the refugee
and immigrant populstions.
"Our role is to be the link with
the government," Mr. Gad-Hart
said. "The state has some lati-
tude in dealing with these
changes, and we want them to
be sensitive to the needs of the
refugeeS and immigrants."
Ultimately, said D. J.
Kucharski, development direc-
tor for Federation Apartments,
Jewish leadership must relay the
notion that helping refugees and
immigrants can be done in a
communal effort.
"As a community, I would
hope that people would band to-
gether. Look what the commu-
nity did with Operation Exodus,
which brought these people
here," he said. "I would hope that
people would look deep in their
hearts and reach into their pock-
etbooks to help theSe people out
again."
Communal workers are ex-
pecting an onslaught after wel-
fare cuts go into effect.
Ellen Goldman, executive di-
rector of Yad Ezra, the kosher
food bank, anticipates seeing
many of the same 1,100 families
her agency currently aids. Many
Yad Ezra clients are immigrants.
"People come and go all of the
time," she said. "But there will
probably be more of them.
"And many of the people we al-
ready see we will be seeing again
with more acute needs. It is go-
ing to be a much tougher,
tougher time for these people." El
Anti-Terror Provisions
Are Ignored
0
ne Jewish legislator is less
than satisfied with the
burst of congressional ac-
tivity on the anti-terror
front.
Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y.,
blasted the House GOP leader-
ship for refusing to even consid-
er two of his anti-terror
provisions.
The first, which Mr. Nadler in-
troduced earlier in the year to
deafening silence from House
leaders, would outlaw participa-
tion in "militias" — the growing
movement of private armies that
began to alarm officials in Wash-
ington after last year's Oklahoma
City bombing.
"No one should be allowed to
organize and train a private
army for the purpose of making
war on the United States and its
citizens," Mr. Nadler said.
Some conservative Republi-
cans have defended the militia
movement; pro-gun groups have
resisted any new controls on the
private armies.
Mr. Nadler also authored a bill
requiring the installation of ad-
vanced bomb detection equip-
ment in major airports and the
use of bomb- resistant cargo con-
tainers in airliners; those im-
provements would be funded
through the Airport Improve-
ment Trust Fun
But the GOP leadership, he
charged, refused to even consid-
er these provisions.
