So what was a very precious thingand it is still on the books. since 1882. that a person will not become a public charge when they come to the United States of America. That person indicates by oath that they will not. and the sponsor is indicating that they will not allow that usually precious relative to become a public charge. So. finally. in the Finance Committee. we corrected this abuse. a terrible abuse of the system. the kind of thing that makes people sour on immigration. sour on our precious heritage. That is what happens here. So. in turn. we have this measure which requires immigrants to look first to the sponsor. this friend or this relative who guaranteed this support. They did this. They could not bring them unless they did this.
