That is the extra administrative burden. and the purpose of it is to find out what they have. and if they have it you make them pay it before the rest of us pick up the tab for people who promised to pay for them when they came here or they could not have come here unless they made the promise. I do not knowand I respect greatly my friend from Florida. and certainly consistency and persistency are his fortebut I just think the American public has a lot of difficulty wondering why the general taxpayers have to pick up the tab for anything on someone who came here on the sole promise that their sponsor would take care of everything and that they would not become a "public charge." Now. under the present bill. If they become a public charge for 12 months out of the 5year period they can be subject to deportation. with certain clearly expressed exclusions. I regret being in a position where one would have to be portrayed as. "Why are you doing this?" We are doing it only because I think Americans understand something about taking care of others. Our budget this year is $1.506.000.000.000 so we must be taking care of someone in the United States of America. $1.506.000.000.000.
