The hardworking families in the Fourth Congressional District of Michigan and across the country believe welfare should be a hand up. not a handout. They very much support the requirement that ablebodied welfare recipients work for the benefits so generously provided by the American taxpayer. Third. we do not give welfare to felons and noncitizens. Many people are not aware. the Federal Government sends checks to convicted felons serving time in prison. Cannot these tax dollars be better spent helping those families truly in need? Also many noncitizens have a proud tradition of hard work and achievement. They come to America to share in the American dream. which does not and should not include welfare dependency. Fourth. this legislation also provides States with the flexibility to meet the needs of its citizens.
