This welfare reform package is a tough. but compassionate. approach to controling skyrocketing welfare rolls and costs while restoring the hope for dignity. which is every citizens birthright. This legislation would prepare mothers and fathers on welfare to enter the work force. It would establish paternity standards to assist in child support enforcement. It denies benefits for a child born to a mother already receiving AFDC and end welfare benefits to all illegal aliens and most noncitizens. Mr. Speaker. the ultimate goal of welfare programs should be to help people move off the welfare rolls and onto payrolls. not to create a permanent welfare class.
