Pell grants. State general assistance. legal services. lowincome heating. as if they were not there. This is one that needs the clear light of morning. the brilliant sun coming over the eastern hills so we can pierce this veil. because this is a concept that will assure that someone who sponsors a legal immigrant will be off the hook and that an agency will provide services and not be able to go back against the sponsor. Ladies and gentlemen. the whole purpose of this exercise is to say. "If you bring in a legal immigrant. you give an affidavit of support. you pledge that your assets are considered to be the assets of that person. And that will be so for 5 years or until naturalization. And if you do not choose to do that. then know that the sponsor is off the hook and the taxpayers are on the hook." I do not think that is what the public charge provision of the law ever would have provided. With that.
