What about the incapacitated? What about the homeless who have lost their jobs and because of that they have lost their homes and had to move and live out of their vehicles or live in parks? What about the elderly. who. as was mentioned here earlier. are legal immigrants who came here many. many years ago and worked hard and paid taxes and sent their sons and daughters to war to defend this Nation. and here they are in their time of need. elderly. widowed. alone. will not be given the kind of assistance because they are legal immigrants. What a shame. what a shame of this country. We cannot tolerate this. What about the children. the millions of children that will be put on the street because they will be pushed into poverty by this illthoughtof. illconceived Republican bill? In 70 percent of these families one of the parents is probably already working. but yet those children will be denied. What about the children of immigrants in this country. children who were born here or have the fault. if my colleagues will. of choosing the wrong parents and will be denied Medicaid or food stamps. or disabled children who will be denied SSI benefits all because. as I said. they made the mistake of choosing their parents? This is unconscionable. We need to come back to the table and negotiate a welfare bill that is right for this country in these times.
