Many of the children in these lowincome families are citizens who live in families that experience hunger and other hardships. This amendment. if adopted. would mean that a large number of children would be thrust into. or deeper into. poverty. An Urban Institute study found that 56 percent of young. lowincome children of immigrant parents live in families that experience hunger or other foodrelated problems. It seems to me there is an issue of humanity here on this issue. We have spent a week and a half debating amendments to this bill. Most of the amendments that were designed to alter substantially the comprehensive approach to immigration reform have failed. But they were debated on and voted on. I think that has been a good showing for the Senate.
