NS plans to close offices, cut workers
hroughout Texas due to lack of funds
ORPUS CHR1STI (AP) — A short-
ge of applicants will force the Im-
igration and Naturalization Serv-
e to close its alien legalization office
arch 16 and make cutbacks in
ther centers, officials said.
I The closing will come more than a
month and a half before the May -1
leadline for the one-time amnesty
Irogram.
I In addition to the Cot pus < hi isti
Posing, the INS plans to cut bar k le-
lization staff at other Texas r ities,
eluding San Antonio, Austin and
arlingen. Mario Ortiz, chief
okesman for the INS Southern
legion based in Dallas, said the cuts
lem from money problems.
“The amnesty program was de
signed to be a pay-as-you-go kind of
thing,” he said. “It was supposed to
be pretty much self-sufficient, and
there just wasn’t enough of a turn
out in some of the communities to
support a local office. The numbers
who actually came were not what we
thought they would be at the begin
ning of the program.”
Local INS officials and Hispanic
leaders criticized the move to close
the of fice before the deadline. They
were further upset at a proposal that
the U.S. Border Patrol set up shop at
the same location.
“I think it will be another mark
against the INS — especially if the
border patrol moves in,” said Lewis
Underdown, chief legalization offi
cer at the Corpus Christi office.
‘‘Applicants are going to think the
INS gave them anotherjab.”
The local office opened last May 5
to give illegal aliens a chance to take
advantage of the Immigration Re
form and Control Act of 1986. The
act offers general amnesty to illegal
aliens who have lived in the United
States since before Jan. I, 1982.
Certain agricultural workers have
a later deadline for applying.
Once the Corpus Christi office
closes, Ortiz said, local applicants
will be referred to the nearest office,
in San Antonio, where eight workers
are slated to be cut or transferred
March 1 1.
Dr. Hector P. Garcia, founder of
the Hispanic organization American
GI Forum, said he is worried about
applicants who have begun the am
nesty process and return to find the
office gone, or to discover Border
Patrol agents there.
Jerry Hicks, deputy chief of the
Border Patrol’s McAllen Sector, said
the agency intends to set up a Cor
pus Christi office primarily to com
bat drug trafficking along the coast.
The legalization site would serve
as temporary space while the agency
looked for a permanent location, he
said.
The INS has come out against a
proposal in Congress to extend the
deadline. The agency launched cam
paign to bring in more applicants.

FORT WORTH (AP) — The tales
of Mother Goose have lulled genet a-
ns of tiny tots to sleep and
nought smiles to their parents.
But Professor Barry Perl mutter
inks the lessons in some of the sto
ps are a little bit too harsh — such
mice getting their tails c hopped
l, the little old lady who lives in the
hoe beating her children, and the
■by falling out of the tree, cradle
dall.
Perlmutter, who is a child psychol
ist and an associate family studies
professor at Texas Christian Univer
sity, has spent the last four years po
licing all the Mother Goose antholo
gies he could get his hands on.
“OK, this is the original,” he says,
clearing his throat.
“Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his
crown.
And Jill came tumbling after.”
Then Perlmutter smiles and looks
up with wet eyes, “Here’s the revised
version:
“Jack and Jill went up the hill.
They ran and played for hours.
And when they tired they sat and
talked,
And picked and smelled the flow
ers.”
Perlmutter, 36, has his own book,
titled “No More Nightmares in the
Nursery: A Gentler Mother Goose.”
Or, it will be a book, if a publisher
likes the 52 nursery rhymes that Per
lmutter has rewritten so that nobody
gets anything chopped off — even
when the characters still eat every
thing in sight and don’t pay back the
money they owe.
In Perlmutter’s revisions, The
farmer’s wife does not chop off the
mice’s tails and the stingy woman
from Exeter becomes “the gracious
hostess of Exeter."
In his introduction, he tells par
ents has tried to keep as close to the
original as possible and keep the ca
dence the same, so the rhymes can
still be sung.
