Speech #1100077109

Mr. President. this amendment is very clear. It reaffirms that illegal immigrants cannot and will not receive Social Security benefits. It focuses the Attorney General to strongly and vigorously enforce this provision. and it focuses enforcement efforts against those who are here illegally. not American citizens who are naturalized and here legally. Unfortunately. whether intended or not. the Ensign amendment would threaten the Social Security benefits of millions of Americans. It makes no sense. We need to focus the Attorney General on those who are here illegally. and make it very clear that no one who is here illegally can receive Social Security benefits. period.
