Who is paying for that? If you want to relieve in a compassionate way a sponsor from having to pay for the person they bring over here and we sometimes say we cannot do thatheavens no. for the fellow cannot afford that. But. you see. ladies and gentlemen. you have to remember that you cannot bring an immigrant legally to the United States unless the sponsor agrees. and also the immigrant. that they will not become "a public charge." That has been on our books since 18821882. This bill. these bills. tighten that singular requirement in an excellent way. We do say now that the affidavit of support has teeth and. indeed it does. That is a very excellent step. What we find in at least half a dozen or more States of our Union --and yet we just cannot say that is for six States alone to deal with. or that we do not need to do a national bill. no. that would be a true flight from reality. In half a dozen or more States. current high levels of immigration are perceived as causing. rightly or wrongly. some very serious social and governmental problems. Do they take more out than they put in? Do they leave more in than they take out?
