AFDC. and the social service block grants. While we are debating this bill. the Olympics are going on in Atlanta. Fortyseven members of the American Olympic team are immigrants47 of them are representing and competing for the United States of America. But under this legislation. these 47 Americans would have been denied nutrition programs. help. and assistance if they had needed them as children. Hundreds of thousands of legal immigrant children will be robbed of a safety net by this bill. Hopefully. they have sponsors who can care for them when they need help because otherwise this bill leaves them out in the cold. But half of all legal immigrants do not have sponsors. What happens to those children when their families fall on hard times? In our recent immigration bill. we permit 140.000 individuals to come into the United States on special skills programs. They are not sponsored. They do not have someone to deem to.
