Second. let us now talk about the substance. The fact is. and here is why I subscribe to the language of my friends from North Carolina. Illinois. and Massachusetts. why I believe this does bespeak a meanness toward people in low income. Let me give an analogy. We had a very similar debate about this during the welfare bill. Some of us felt that the language as it applied to legal immigrants. with regard to the exclusion of legal immigrants from a whole variety of programs was mean. We were told. oh. no. that is just soft. The American people want it.
