Children bom in the United States are entitled to equal protection under the law. Preventing U.S. citizens from obtaining benefits because their parents are Ineligible violates equal protection laws. This provision would necessitate State and local governments implementing a complex guardian system for children who already have capable. competent. and loving parents. This provision would not save money or improve enforcement efforts. The only purpose it would serve is a political onemaking needy and hungry children an example because of the immigration status of their parents. Children should not be held responsible in this debate. I urge my colleague to vote for the VelizquezRoybaAllard amendment and strike this provision from the bill.
