I also point out that much of these provisions. although not entirely in the same form. were included as part of the Democratic substitute. So I think it is important that we bring this into the proper perspective. I want to point out that much of the savings that would come about through this legislation are through the changes that are being made in welfare programs for noncitizens. These people came into the United States on the basis that they would not become a public charge. S. 1956 requires noncitizens to live up to their end of the bargain by requiring them to work or depend on the support of their sponsors and not rely on the American taxpayers. I yield the floor.
