It did come up here once in the Senate. and I believe that amendment failed by a vote of about 57 to 37 on 100 percent Federal reimbursement. Indeed. this is more reasonable than that. Why we put in the 3year period. and I helped to choose that. is because it was chosen to mirror the period we chose for reimbursement of refugees. But realizing that aliens and refugees are so separate and apart. with legalized aliens we should have less public assistance since they come here specifically for the purpose of work. They are not fleeing persecution based on race. religion. national origin. or membership in the social or political organization. There is a lot of difference.

Legalized aliens come to work, refugees are fleeing persecution.
