When we talk of reform. we should not be discussing more people in hunger. more people who are homeless. more people in poverty. That Is what this "reform" has led to. People who supported the welfare reform bill said they "responded to the wishes of the American people and put an end to the widespread use and abuse of our welfare system." I am asking you now to respond to the voice of the American people. A recent nationwide L.A. Times poll found that 56 percent of the American people favor restoring cuts to legal immigrants. Not too long ago. several Republican Governors were here. They are already anticipating the effects of this legislation.
