I will remind the Senator: I in no way disparaged your family. I didn't even mention your family. What I did mention is that you made the point that we are harming immigrants who come here who might be dependent on social safety net programs and sending that money back overseas. And I came here from another country--not my parents. I came here. I wasn't born in this country. I came here to seek the American dream, and I am honored every day to be here--although, on a day like today, not so much, because it is grossly disappointing that the Democrat Party that I once knew, a party of the working class, is not willing to make a very simple statement: When we help American citizens, we expect that money to stay in this country. I yield the floor.
