As a matter of fact. and as the gentleman from Kentucky has pointed out. as the Committee on Ways and Means and the gentleman from Nebraska certainly know. the welfare benefits that the people who would come under the program refer to as the SchumerPanettaBerman program were denied and are in the base of the bill. They are not eligible for the traditional AFDC welfare benefits. As the gentleman from California knows. because he was there before the Committee on Rules. I said this bill. on serious examination. and this proposal make compelling substantive and political sense. We have tried it the other way in 1981. 1982. 1983. and 1984. and there has been no immigration reform. For people who want immigration reform. let us try it a different way. a way that brings disparate parties together and works on these solutions together. I urge an "aye" vote.
