This amendment combines several distinct exemptions to the "deeming" requirements in the bill. Everyone should understand what "deeming" does. Deeming requires sponsors to keep their promises. Since 1882. our law has stated that no one may immigrate to this country if they are "likely at any time to become a public charge." Many individualsabout half of those admitted in 1994were only permitted to enter after someone else promised to support that newcomer. The sponsor guarantees that the sponsored immigrant will not require any public assistance. Senator KENNEDYS amendment provides a number of exceptions to this "deeming" rule for: First. emergency Medicaid. second. foster care. third. Head Start. and fourth.
