The Congressional Budget Office has pointed out that the Republican bills spending provisions fall far short of the necessary funds needed to meet the work requirements. In addition. in some instances. funds can be moved out of the program for which they are allocated and be expended on unrelated programs. One provision In this measure. which claims big cuts and savings. would deny benefits to legal Immigrants. noncitizens who pay taxes and contribute to our economy. Half the funding cuts In this bill come on the backs of these hardworking members of our communities. Such Is the case with the Southeast Asians. especially the Hmong. natives of Laos who have a concentrated population In Minnesota and in other parts of the Nation.
