Mr. President. what this doesand this is not a complicated onethis simply says that we are going to go back to the current law that if someone is disabled under the definition of the Social Security Act. if you are blind or disabled. then the deeming provision does not apply. The pending bill requires that 100 percent of an immigrant sponsors income be deemed to the immigrants. Say your sponsor has a $30.000ayear income. it is totally unrealistic. among other things. to assume that sponsor can provide $30.000 worth of support for the immigrant. I hope we would keep the current law. I think it is simply sensible and compassionate as well as practical that we not move in this direction.
