Speaker. this is a betrayal. Not only of the people of California but for people across the United States of America who are picking up the bill. In SSI and Medicaid benefits alone. the legal immigrants who come into this country are expected to sign a pledge that they will not be draining these resources away. But $20 billion of our tax dollars are going now to pay for these benefits for legal immigrants who are basically going straight for the office. filled out the forms and immediately start collecting these benefits. The fact is they should not be collecting the benefits at all because in order to come here they have agreed not to become wards of the government. But the President. in order to keep spending this $20 billion on foreigners who have come here on the understanding that they will not collect these benefits. the President is threatening to close down the government.
