Anything that is not means tested somebody is going to get. We axe talking about. when you line up for whatever it IsStafford or Pell. whatever it is. that is means tested and you line up and say. "Here I am. I need this program." And they are going to ask you. "You are an immigrant and you have a sponsor. What assets does your sponsor have?" And then they are going to say. "Those assets are deemed to be your assets for the purpose of receiving this meanstested grant." And all we are saying is the sponsor is going to be responsible before the taxpayer is responsible. There is no mystery to this. This is not some strange thing where we are pulling the rug out from under people. They say why do we do this with legal and not illegal? Illegal immigrants receive the benefits that I have discussed: WIC. emergency medical assistance. immunization. And why? Because they are here and we want to take care of them so they do not become sick and so on.
