Today I. and I believe my colleague from California. will vote against this bill in hopes that when the bill comes out of conference it is a bill that does not so severely disadvantage one State in this Union. and that State is California. Mr. President. as I look at the savings of this bill. a net of about $55 billion. $17 billion of those savings come from the largest State in the Union and the State I believe most impacted by poor people. We know $9 billion comes from the cutoff of legal immigrants. including refugees and asylees who have no sponsorthe aged. the halt and the blind3.5 billion of AFDC. and $4.2 billion of food stamps. totaling about a $17 billion impact on the State of California. Now. I ask the State legislature. the State of California. look at the budget.
