While I appreciate the merits of the bill and what the sponsor was trying to accomplish. it is what it is. If were going to provide a bailout. Congress should ensure that at least we are bailing out lending institutions that lent to Americans. not illegal aliens. Yesterday I offered an amendment in rules to do that. an amendment that actually had some teeth. Instead. the Rules Committee decided to allow a similar amendment but one that lacked the teeth that mine had. My amendment prohibited States from using any of the funds to purchase homes that were owned by illegal aliens. If States used the funds under this bill to provide affordable housing to its residents. my amendment prohibited them from providing that housing to illegal aliens. However. my amendment required documentation. which only included a Social Security card with a photo ID or a REAL ID identification. That would be the proof of the pudding.
