Speech #1100111850

The majority has not made one concession in this cosmetic redraft. Its the same bill with the same objections. and we should not compromise our principles to satisfy their political aims. What we have before us is a bill that continues to allow Federal resources. 10 percent or more. to be diverted away from lowincome children and given to adults. a bill that provides a back door to illegal immigrants to get Federal benefits to the tune of $3.7 billion. and a bill that continues to force at least 2 million families out of their current plan and into a government program. While Southern California has burned. the Speaker has this House fiddling and posturing. Worse yet. the majority is manipulating that tragedy and is tying this vote to ensure our votes are reduced.
