It was about good people suffering. Under the guise of able bodied people working. we are forcing disabled and elderly people into hunger. Into homelessness. Beginning around April 1. roughly 500.000 legal Immigrants will lose their SSI benefits and about I million will lose food stamps. By the year 2002. approximately. 260.000 elderly immigrants and 140.000 children will lose Medicaid coverage. The bill I am introducing today restores those benefits to elderly and disabled immigrants by repealing provisions of the Personal Responsibility Act of 1996. When the American people supported welfare reform. they supported that able bodied people would work. I want that.
