I I I will tell you what this socalled reform will mean to California. and how my State is being asked to absorb 40 percent of the proposed cuts. Why? Because California Is home to the largest immigrant population in our country and this bill denies legal immigrants Federal assistance. It does not take much to do the math and understand the consequences of denying food stamps. supplemental security income. or Medicaid to our legal immigrant population. There are no exceptions for children or the elderly. regardless of the situation. The needs of these taxpaying. legal residents will not vanish because the Federal Government looks the other way.
