Medicaid. That is where it will come from. unless someone can tell me another approach to it. So here we are again with an immigrationrelated issue which has to do with compassion. kindness. tenderness. I know those things. Those are emotions not foreign to me. but I also know how this works. It is a great infertile field to just add and add and add. Sponsors have committed that the sponsored immigrant will neither require nor use assistance from the taxpayers of this country from any Federal welfare program. and that is the law of the United States of America. To be consistent. all Federal welfare programs should require the sponsored immigrant to look to this friend or this relative or this sponsoring agency for assistance before turning to the American taxpayer for support. We are not talking about illegal. undocumented persons who we care for with emergency medical assistance and hospital assurance. We are talking about people who are playing on the up and up when they came. sponsors who were playing on the up and up when they came. which was a very simple procedure: "You come. Ill take care of you until you become selfsupporting." That is the law of the United States of America.
