Last week we defeated an Ensign amendment to deny persons in legal status the Social Security benefits to which they are fairly entitled. I believe that most Americans will agree with that decision as fair and just. It maintains the trust of the Social Security trust fund for those workers who contribute to the fund. This week we defeated a Sessions amendment that would have unfairly stripped immigrants of earnedincome tax credits. I am pleased that in both cases the Senate agreed not to unfairly withhold these benefits from hardworking immigrants who will benefit immensely from them. The opponents of our bipartisan bill have made a number of assaults on our comprehensive approach. Senators KYL.
