"I think that it is just simply a question of maybe we should go the extra mile to ensure the people who receive the benefits that are owed to American citizens are actually American citizens."

"I think it destroys the political will for these programs when we extend them to people who are not even citizens in the country."

"We do not want to be cruel to people. There is no reason to deny benefits for the sake of denying benefits."

"I think they should go to American citizens."
