My outrage has not diminished since the House voted to take away the Federal guarantee that some modest assistance will be available for those children and families whose desperate circumstances make them eligible. That is not just bad public policy. it is immoral. I also continue to be angry at the ongoing Immigrantbashing that began with H.R. 4. which would deny public assistance on the basis of legal immigration status. We know that immigrants dont come here for public assistance. they come to join family members and to provide a better life for their children. They work. they pay taxes. they participate in community life. and they play by the rules. Why should they be targeted. except to save money?
