Instead. it relies on catchy slogans and soundbites of setting time limits so you are off if you do not make It. if you do not cut it. We block grant in this bill. give you a lump sum of money which looks good but never is enough to cover your needs in the States. And we talk about. as we have heard some of the Members on the other side of the aisle say. the noncitizen alien. and they use as graphic a term as they can to try to describe these human beings who are in this country. one. legally. are in this country. two. paying taxes. are in this country. three. willing and ready and obligated to serve in time of war. as many have. and are prepared to die. as many have. for this country even though they have yet not become U.S. citizens. The effect of this bill. well. it is weak on work. They force people off of welfare. but they do not help them get into work.
