Nothe Republicans tell us that these measures are supposed to change behavior. Denying benefits to young unwed mothers. I am told. is not simply a way to penalize thembut to change their behavior. Well. if that is the logic of this bill. then what am I to make of those provisions that are aimed at denying benefits to legal immigrants? I have to assume that your goal is to alter the behavior of those around the world who would otherwise think about coming--legallyto the United States. And thats a shame. because I thought that a good society opened its doors to others.
