I wanted to thank my friend and colleague from Nebraska . I am on the Committee on Appropriations that deals with a lot of these funds that will go out dealing with Social Security programs. I hear time and time again. not only from Iowa but from other places. about why they are taking cuts and being forced to pay more for health care and increases in premiums. and yet people who have not paid 1 cent to the system are illegal aliens taking out of the program. Again I want to compliment the Senator from Nebraska for a great amendment. one that will cut down on fraud. waste. and abuse in the Social Security System. and make sure the intended beneficiaries are the ones getting the benefits. and not the people who are illegal aliens in this country. I want to thank my friend for his leadership on this issue.
