So that is what happens today for working Americans. The individuals who are in our country illegally at this moment have not been expecting to get that. have not been getting it unless they are filing fraudulently. and they should not get it. They should not get it as an additional benefit to receiving a Z visa. which allows them permanent residence in the United States and a pathway to citizenship. That Z visa would also allow them to obtain quite a number of other benefits. such as food stampswhich would not be affected by my amendmenthealth care for children. and. of course. anyone who goes into a hospital who has an emergency need will be treated whether they have insurance or legal status or not. So their children would be educated in our school systems. All those things would occur. Nothing would impact those things. But it is not correct as a matter of law. as a matter of principle. and certainly it is not a matter of fiscal responsibility for this Congress to pass an immigration reform bill that confers another $18 billion to $20 billion in earnedincome tax credit on people whom we just rewarded with permanent residence in our country. That is not required. There is no requirement of that.
