We think it is unconscionable in the richest country on the face of this Earth that millions of children go without health insurance. Let me just say one other thing. The gentleman made an allusion. too. that this bill would make it easier to enroll illegal immigrants. I want to ask my friend from Texas to read the bill. Section 605. no Federal funds for illegal immigrants. Nothing in this Act allows Federal payment for residents who are not legal residents. Now. I know that immigrant bashing is the last bastion of the politically desperate. but the fact of the matter is facts are facts. And on documentation. only my Republican friends would argue that poor children should have passports as though they are jetting off to Paris for the spring fashion shows. The bottom line is. what the gentleman is raising on that level is totally unwarranted.
