“I wanted to ask Senator D'Amato awhile ago--he was talking about noncitizens who are receiving welfare benefits. I want to ask, because I think the American people somehow have missed over the last 15, 20 years, because most of us missed it, we were totally unaware, as I understand it, that many Americans were sending off to foreign countries for their elders under an American policy that is so generous it just makes you understand what a wonderful country we are. Under a policy of family unification, we let a 45-year-old, 48-year-old American send off to a foreign country and bring their 65-year-old mother or father to America.”
