Thank you. I say to the Senator. I just remind Senators that 87 Members of this Chamber voted for a welfare reform bill that passed the U.S. Senate that said all legalsponsored immigrants receive no deeming. We eliminate deeming. Under the welfare bill we passed there is no deeming. If you are a legal immigrant in this country. sponsored. you are not eligible for welfare benefits until you become a citizen. And 87 Members of the Senate voted for that. This is a much weaker version. What this keeps in place is a deeming provision that says that you are not eligible for benefits unless your sponsor cannot pay for it.
