What that really means. in plain English. Mr. President. is that if a legal immigrant child. a child who is here completely legally. is abused or neglected. and the court says that child must be protected. unless we do this fix that I have in this amendment. that child would not be eligible for the title IVE foster care or adoption assistance program. What we did on both sides of the aisle is work with the language to ensure that those children would be treated exactly like citizen children if they are in a situation where they are abused or neglected in that 5year period. It is important to note that Federal funding goes to the adopting families and the foster families under rules that govern that program and certification requirements that are set by the State.
