When aliens come to this country. their sponsors pledge to support them and they sign a statement that says they will not become a public charge. People come to this country voluntarily. If noncitizens want to stay in this country. they sign a statement saying they will not become a public charge. We will start holding them to that statement and hold their sponsors who also signed the statement saying. "We will make sure they do not become a public charge. we will make sure they do what they committed to do." I think that is very important. I might mention a couple things about taxpayers. If you look at the number of noncitizens currently receiving SSI. SocialSecurity supplemental income. in 1982 there were almost 128.000 noncitizens receiving SSI. in 1994 that number had increased by almost sixfold. and there were 738.000 noncitizens receiving SSI. The program has exploded since 1982almost six times as many. What happens is a whole lot of people determine they can come to the United States not asking for a land of opportunity to grow and build and expand. they come to the United States for a handout.
