President. I want to commend the Senator from Nebraska for his concern for this issue and for the very appropriate manner in which he has gone about presenting his ideas. and now reaching what I think is a very honorable resolution. Basically. the amendment that is before us. does the following: First. it states with specificity what are the direct Federal financial benefits or social insurance benefits which may not be paid to a person who is in the country in an illegal undocumented status. Therefore. there will not be any question as to which programs that are otherwise available to American citizens are precluded from those who are here illegally. One area of great concern to many of us was the fact that this preclusion does not include emergency medical services.
