Far from encouraging work and supporting efforts to attain selfsufficiency. the Republicans pull the safety net out from under the working poor and raise taxes on 13 million working families. They cut health care coverage. child care. school nutrition. food stamps. and other supports. provide no resources for jobs and job training. threaten the viability of pension funds. and make it far more expensive for the children to improve their futures through higher education. The Republicans continue the ongoing immigrantbashing that began with H.R. 4. denyIng public assistance on the basis of legal immigration status. even denying immigrant children school breakfasts and lunches. This is outrageous. We know 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 treated as secondclass citizens?
