It is almost lawyerlike. but simply defined. The Senator from Nebraska and I enjoy that repartee about lawyers and nonlawyers. But this is simplicity itself: Notwithstanding any other law. no direct Federal financial benefit or social insurance benefit may be paid. or otherwise given. on or after the date of enactment of this act. to any person not lawfully present within the United States except pursuant to a provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act. No alien who has not been granted employment authorization pursuant to Federal law shall be eligible for unemployment compensation under an unemployment coinpensation law of a Stats or the United States. In this section. "person not lawfully within the United States" means a person who at the time the person applies for. receives. or attempts to receive a Federal financial benefit is not a United States citizen. a permanent resident alien. an asylee. a refugee. a parolee. or a nonimmigrant In status for purposes of the immigration laws. It is not fair to come to this floor and talk about the poor. the destitute. the uncared for. Those people are taken care of beautifully in this country.
