Speech #990030615

I believe the Senate should again exercise the same wisdom it demonstrated when it approved the nonresident alien provision as part of the Social Security reform package. A sense of fairness to the American taxpayer dictates that. And so does the need for deficit reduction. Could there be a more reasonable place to begin deficit reduction than here? I do not think so. For the benefit of my colleagues. let me explain again. briefly and simply. what this bill would do. Under this amendment. aliens residing abroad and illegal aliens would receive Social Security benefits in an amount equal to the contribution they made. through payroll taxes on their employment. plus interest. This is fair. It gives back what has been contributed.
