Is that if we do not deal in an important way with ensuring that we will have birth certificates which are going to be. effectively. even printed on paper that cannot be duplicated and other safeguards. really. this whole effort ought to be understood for what it is. That is. basically. a sham. It will be a sham not only with regard to immigration. but it will be a sham on all of the programs that we talked about yesterday in terms of the public programs because individuals will be going out and getting the birth certificates and getting citizen documents to prove they are American citizens and then drawing down on the public programs. We spent hours yesterday saying which programs we are going to permit. even for illegals to be able to benefit from. or which ones we will be able to permit legals to be eligible for. and we went through the whole process of deeming. If you go out there and are able to get the birth certificates and falsify those. you will be able to demonstrate you are a senior citizen and you will be able to draw down on all of those programs. This reaches the heart of the whole question of illegal immigrants. It reaches the whole question of protecting American workers. It reaches the whole issue of protecting employers.
