Give me your attention just for a moment. please. This amendment is about welfare reform for legal immigrantsthe same issue you have already voted on seven separate times now. The reason that legal immigrants are in the situation they are in Is because the person who brought them here promised to pay for their support. All we are saying is that sponsors should pay for these benefits If they have the means to do so. That is what deeming is. No legal immigrant will receive any fewer benefits than an Illegal immigrant. but the legal immigrants sponsor will have to pay for the benefits before the American taxpayers do. Should the financial burden be on the immigrants sponsor or on the U.S. taxpayers? Take your pick.
