Sixty months is enough in most cases. and as we continue food stamps and as we continue Medicaid. I believe 5 years is enough and that the voucher system is not a good part of the substitute bill. Last. this substitute provides about $12 billion in extra welfare for noncitizens. Madam Chairman. Americans are generous people. We have opened our arms to people from all over the world as long as they come to this Nation realizing it is a Nation of opportunity. not a Nation where we lean on the Government. We have in our original bill tightened the sponsor agreements. I believe that it Is very. very bad to provide welfare to ablebodied noncitizens. I urge a vote against this substitute.
