I want to go back to the chart of Senator CHAFEE. if I may. I have been given this stick. I want to tell you in 2 minutes that these people here. under the category "legal immigrant." "no. no. no." that these people are taken care of. They receive emergency Medicaid. they receive prenatal postpartum Medicaid services. they receive shortterm emergency disaster relief. public health assistance. and the sponsor is paying for themnot the taxpayer. These people are not deprived. When we say how can they be receiving something that the illegal is receiving. they are receiving it. but we are not paying for it because the sponsor that agreed to bring them here and pay for them to not become a public charge is paying for them. The reason we do this for illegal immigrants is because we are a very generous nation. I have voted for all of that. I am not generous to somebody who brings someone here and says they will pay the whole tab and they do not.
