I hope they ask the question to Members of Congress. what are you doing to cut the waste. fraud and abuse out of the SSI system. which is completely out of control? Let me also further state an example given to me by my good friend and your colleague from California [ELTON GALLEGLY] when he brought in to me a fourpage brochure. printed in Spanish. paid for by the taxpayers of this country. That brochure being distributed in Mexico today. and says anyone who is pregnant can go to a hospital in ELTONs area and receive prenatal care. postnatal care. deliver the baby. the baby becomes an American citizen. and. furthermore. in Spanish it says the mother cannot be turned in to the Immigration Service. I wonder if our taxpayers around the country know that their money is going to illegal immigrants to come in and have their children delivered. Is that waste. fraud. and abuse. or only in the case of the Pentagon or others? What I am saying is this debate should be based on substance. it should be bipartisan. and it should not be this rhetorical namecalling back and forth. because there is enough waste here that all of us should be attacking it.
