Yet this shortsided bill includes work requirements without providing jobs. In fact. according to the CBO. most States will not be able to satisfy the work requirements included in H.R. This bill also gives legal immigrants the shaft. Most of us here today descended from immigrant roots. Yet H.R. 3734 calls for an unprecedented denial of benefits for legal immigrants who. despite their contributions by working hard and paying taxes. fall on hard times. I support real welfare reform. but not by hurting children. not on the backs of legal immigrants and not without real job creation. The main target of any welfare legislation ought to be poverty. not children. This bill is an outrage.
