I believe that instead of giving people a hand up and out of the welfare system. we have limited their options and their opportunities further. For the most part. we have simply shifted this serious national problem to the States. and we have done so without providing them with adequate support to address the problem. Third. I am concerned about the bills harsh treatment of legal immigrants. More often than not. these individuals are hard working. taxpaying individuals who deeply appreciate and value the freedom and opportunity of the United States. I cannot agree to deny them so many of the benefits that they might legitimately need as they build a life here.
