The Democratic bill is tough on child support enforcementrequires a central registry to track support orders. makes interstate enforcement uniform. and enforces income withholding for irresponsible parents. The Democratic bill makes teen parents responsible without punishing their children--it requires teen parents to live at home and sends benefit checks to a responsible adult. most importantlyit demands that teen parents stay in school and establishes a national campaign to stop teen pregnancy. Finally. the Democratic bill is fair in its treatment of legal immigrantslegal immigrants who have worked and paid taxes in this country for 5 years and not denied benefits. and all legal immigrants can receive medical care. I support the Democratic bill because it does not tolerate people who refuse to work or parents who abandon their children. also. it does not seek to destroy families or condemn children who are born poor. The Democratic bill gets to the heart of the matter. it creates a rational. comprehensive. and compassionate avenue to move people from welfare to workto truly end welfare as we know it.
