Those agencies. for the best of motives. are far more interested in spending money than in saving it. Mr. President. if the Congress decides that deeming is not appropriate for particular programs or particular classes of immigrants. 1 Qhink then and only then the deeming should not be required. but it should not be done by State fiat. Let me just say a few words about the issue of administrative costs. The Senator from Florida mentions the administrative costs to the States of the deeming requirements. I remind my colleagues the deeming requirements only apply to programs that under current law are means tested. The effect of deeming is that when an immigrant applies. as I say. for assistance. he or she must report to the provider not only his or her income and assets but also that of the sponsor. That just adds another line or two to the application form. So to be told that this is a terrible administrative burden. here is how I foresee it.
