the distinguished chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means. said in 1990 he did not want a similar bill imposed on the State of Illinois because they had stronger fraud provisions. The last amendment dealt with the fact that the Federal statute allows illegal aliens to qualify for food stamps and other public assistance programs. The Department of Agriculture has informed me that during fiscal year 1992 some 300.000 illegal aliens and 700.000 legal aliens received food stamps. That is a million people that could vote under this bill. Now. I know you say they cannot. but the amendment that I had was clear. it was explicit.
