I thank the Congressman from North Carolina (Mr. Moore). Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Haridopolos), my good friend from the Eighth Congressional District, otherwise known as the Space Coast. Congressman Haridopolos and I have had many conversations about the cost of illegal immigration on programs that are designed to help and support vulnerable Americans, especially Medicaid. Congressman Haridopolos has extensive experience in the Medicaid space, and he knows that it must be guarded to protect those who rely upon it here in the United States. It is not an international charity, and it is especially not for the illegal immigrants here in this country. I will ask him to elaborate on his experience with this issue.
