I would have much less objection to giving assistance to the temporary class of aliens who are legally in our country if a surplus of housing or funds existed. We all know that is not the case. I do have strong objections to our subsidizing the existence of aliens who illegally enter our country. They take jobs away from our own citizens. and then. receive housing assistance to the detriment of those legally in the United States. My amendment would limit public assistance to those who have complied with our immigration laws and have the intent to stay in this country. or. of course. who are citizens of the United States. We must take care of our own folks first.
