It builds in more flexibility to the work program. In Washington. flexibility is a code word for weakening. and that Is what we have done to the work requirements for food stamp recipients. Not only have we weakened the welfare law. but we have restored $11 billion in welfare benefits for noncitizens. We seemed to have forgotten that welfare was and is a failure. Putting more people on welfare doesnt help society. But that is what we have done in this bill. We have increased the welfare roles. and we have added people who are not even American citizens. The very fact that noncitizens are receiving welfare is testimony to a system that has gotten out of control. Welfare Is also prone to great fraud. Why else would we have to clarify that a noncitizen who is receiving welfare from the U.S. Government must actually be residing in the United States. Can you imagine that we would be paying welfare to people who are not even living in the United States.
