They sign up to bring elderly people in and say they are going to be responsible for them. and they put them right on welfare. That is not right. That is not what this system is about. We did not design the system to say. "Come here and get welfare benefits. and John Q. Public. hardworking middleclass families. are going to pay for it." There is a question of. are we going to hurt the children? Let me tell you something. We guarantee that school lunch programs will be continued for the children of those who are born here and for immigrant children as well. We understand our responsibility. I thank the Agriculture Committee for continuing this important program.
