We have already denied benefits to illegal aliens under the vast majority of Federal programs. Where benefits are still available. such as for emergency medical services. it is because the social and economic cost of not providing the benefits exceeds the actual cost of the benefits. Finally. Mr. President. this issue is also part of the current debate over national health care reform.

I look forward to working with the Senator from Nebraska to clarify these Issues. This amendment is simply reaffirming the prohibition in current law.
