I want to say to colleagues that as a matter of what is right. as a matter of elementary justice. as a matter of compassion. as a matter of considering our own tradition. our own roots. our own heritage. we have to restore this funding. It is simply unconscionable. It really is shameful what we did last Congress. I hope that we will make this a huge priority when we go forward with our budget. Otherwise. we are going to see a lot of vulnerable people who came to our country. who have worked. who have paid their taxes. who were legal immigrants. who maybe have an income total of $525 a month. and they are going to see almost all of that assistance eliminated. The question becomes. What happens to these people?
