Mr. President. we are now faced with the prospect of trying to continue our humanitarian efforts without that Federal partner and. thus. with even fewer resources available from the National Government a greater demand for those resources from the States and local communities which are affected. In some ways. we have come to the conclusion that eliminating even minimal benefits to legal immigrants will somehow solve our illegal immigration problem. This is not true. In reality. it only hurts those who follow the rules. those who made every effort to enter the United States in a lawful. orderly. documented manner. and it hurts our communities. it hurts those cities and towns that provide services to legal immigrants and now will receive no assistance from the Federal Government. This. Mr.
