If we do that. we are killing the bill. Therefore. I say that if we really want to have a bill which says we are not going to pay benefits to illegal aliens and keep in section 3. then we must vote down this amendment. I talked to welfare agents in my State this week. and they said that there has been no basic improvement since a year ago. They said they had been instructed by HEW that they are not supposed to ask if a person was a citizen or not. or if he had a work permit. but my State says that it does not think that procedure makes good sense. Some States may not be this careful. and if so. they are paying out a lot of money. I think that this kind of practice ought to be cut out.
