I certainly agree with the last gentleman and his reference to the fact that this does not solve any illegal immigration problem. It is not designed to do that. That is not the purpose. It is designed to correct what I believe to be a terrible flaw in the law. We should never, ever put in law that we are, in fact, taking taxpayer money and providing services for people who have broken the law. That is a bad precedent. If you want to add the money, put it into the already $61 billion that we give hospitals for the purpose of treating folks who are in need. That is all I am saying. It has got nothing to do with immigration.
