The Republican proposal downsizes welfare simply by kicking out the most vulnerable in our society to sink or swim. It will succeed only in perpetuating the cycle of hopelessness into which far too many American families have fallen. It would say to immigrants who have chosen to make the United States their home thatdespite the taxes they pay. despite the businesses they have formed. despite the educational success of their children which contribute so much to this Nationtheir wellbeing isnt any cause for concern. Those who have become the most strident in criticizing immigrants in America frequently use the same criticism that has been used for generationsthat immigrants are not assimilating into American society quickly enough. Yet the Republican bill actively pushes these newest Americans toward the margins of our society. Well.
