Excerpt from The Use of Supplemental Security Income and Other Welfare Programs by Immigrants: Hearings Before the Subcommittee on the Judiciary United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress Second Session, on Examining Issues Relating to the Receipt of Supplement Security Income (Ssi) Benefits and Other Welfare Programs by Noncitizens, Februar The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:03 a.m., in room SD-226, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Alan K. Simpson (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Also present: Senators Grassley, Kyl, Kennedy, Simon, and Feinstein. Opening Statement of Hon. Alan K. Simpson, a U.S. Senator From the State Of Wyoming Senator Simpson. The hearing will come to order. Today, the Subcommittee on Immigration will hear testimony about the use of SSI and other welfare programs by immigrants. We have a number of able and very well-informed witnesses before us. Welcome. We look forward to hearing and learning of your research and hearing your views. America has long welcomed immigrants from around the globe, and I surely believe this is in our national interest to continue this policy. In fact, my immigration reform bill, the same one which has been raising the hackles of certain interest groups - the groups, as we refer to them in my line of work, except they have become ever more curiously blended genetically now. People who never wanted to do anything have joined with people who always wanted to do something, and people who were originally on one side are now on the other. So much for the power of interest. Nevertheless, this bill that I propose will continue this generous tradition. The bill would reduce immigration by 20 percent for 5 years, but it continues to provide more immigrant visas than the rest of the world combined. That ought to be known to the American people. How anyone can characterize that as eliminating or stuffing or slashing legal immigration is beyond my ever-vivid imagination. So I hope my colleagues will review the record and clearly bear that in mind as we consider immigration reform in the full Judiciary Committee, and that will be coming very soon. But our Nation´s immigration law is very clear on one point. No one may emigrate to the United States if he or she is, "likely at any time to become a public charge."
