Another portion of S. 1070 has already been added as an amendment to H.R. 3236. Over 2 years ago. I discovered that a loophole in this Nations immigration and social security laws was costing the American taxpayer many millions of dollars annually in SSI benefits to newly arrived aliens. Here is how the loophole works: The immigration law requires as a condition of entry for certain categories of aliens that they have a sponsor. often a close relative or friend. who is a citizen or permanent resident of the United States. As a condition for granting an immigration visa to the alien. the sponsor promises the Government that the immigrant will not become a public charge. Without this presumed commitment the alien would not be permitted to come to the United States. It is perfectly clear that unless a commitment is given. and a sponsor signs that he will be responsible for the immigrant. and indicates that the immigrant will not become a public charge. there would be no chance for that immigrant to come into the country. If they had not signed on that way. and had not demonstrated their financial ability to provide support for the immigrant. there would have been no chance for the alien to come in. That is the theory behind it. The commitment is there. and is in writing. and it certainly is the strongest kind of a moral obligation.
