Her wellbeing will become the responsibility. somehow. some way. of the county. During the welfare debate I proposed an amendment to make this section of the bill prospective. I understand the majoritys concern that the legal Immigrants use of SSI was increasing at a higher ratio than U.S. citizens use of SSI. I understand wanting to slow that number down. The way to do it Is to say that in the future. everyone coming to this country following the date of enactment. which was August 22 last year. know that when you come to the United States of America as a legal Immigrant. you are not eligible for SSI. For the people here before that time. what I propose is that there be an amendment to the bill that would say SSI could be continued for those who have no other verifiable source of support. These are the elderly. they are monolingual. they are destitute. and many of them are ill.
