Today they are only funding 6 percent of the grant applications that are given to them. We are not investing either in the physical infrastructure or the human infrastructure of this country. What has made us strong. all of us immigrants who came hereabout 99.99 percent of them. as immigrants. came here with nothing. and this country gave us an opportunity to be rich or to be successful. The only way it will work is if we pay something back into the process. not sitting there using money that you never have been taxed on. I urge my colleagues to vote "no" on this and to think about the 99.8 percent of Americans who will get no benefit whatsoever.
