That is the provision that was struck from it which dealt with the SSI recipients who are aged. blind. and disabled. Let me add one last thing to that. They are aged. blind. and disabled. but they are also immigrants. They are not just any type of immigrants. they are legal immigrants. The problem is in this House. as we see in the public. there is a fire storm going on right now. and next year there are elections. Politically. immigrants are the hot topic. and everyone wants to be on the bandwagon when it comes to immigrants. legal or not. We are talking about folks who have every obligation that a U.S. citizen has. so a legal immigrant must go to war the way a citizen must. and a legal immigrant must pay taxes the way any citizen must. A legal immigrant must do everything. has every obligation that a citizen has. but they cannot vote. so they do not have a bloc that lobbies up here. so when it comes to them. it is a lot easier to go after them than it is someone else. What do we find? That that is what we are trying to do here.
