program was designed to help lowincome Americans support their families by working rather than through welfare. It is a gross revenue expenditure and bad public policy for illegal aliens to continue receiving the EITC. I am confident that this legislative proposal is one on which every American can agree on. It is time for our country to tighten its belt. The American people are ledup with inefficient programs and wasteful spending. This legislation will generate significant savings and end the current practice of rewarding illegal Immigrants for residing within our borders. I urge my colleagues to join me in reforming the Earned Income Tax Credit so that it achieves its two longgerm objectives: First. to offset the Impact of Social Security taxes on lowincome Americans and Second. to encourage lowincome Americans to seek employment rather than welfare. I would ask that a copy of my bill be included in the RECORD.
