I support the provisions that have broken the chain of welfare dependency. welfare that became a narcotic. and it trapped people. I think that our reform of the welfare system was good. intended and long overdue. However. there have been some unintended consequences that are devastating. I do not believe we ever wanted to take 500.000 basically senior citizens and say that "youre going to be out off." senior citizens who are here in this country legally. receiving SSI benefits. who abided by the rules. and now simply terminate them. Let me give you a profile of these legal immigrants who received their notice or termination. Seventytwo percent of them are women. They are over the age of 65.
