President. let me. one more time. bring to the attention of my colleagues this amendment. I am hoping for a good. strong. positive vote. It is the sense of the Senate that Congress should take steps to ensure that elderly and disabled legal immigrants who are unable to work will not be left without Federal assistance essential to their wellbeing. Mr. President. I said it earlier before my colleague arrived. The reason that I bring this senseoftheSenate amendment to the floor of the U.S. Senate today is because I think we are confronted with the fierce urgency of nowArizona being one good example of one State in the countrywe have all heard from legal immigrants and we have all heard from 80yearold women living alone. and partially disabled. They have received letters. They are now. as a result of the legislation we passed last year. going to be cut off assistance.
