If it was coming before the US Congress for a vote, it’s a safe bet that it was FEDERAL, not state, benefits that were being discussed.

Really? And all those Federal laws mandating how States must spend education dollars, or withholding Highway money if the State fails to adopt a 21 year old drinking age, are legitimately Federal?

Ok, let’s assume that what you say is true. I don’t think it is, but let’s assume it is.

Does that mean that you agree with Fred and 5 other Senators that the states should have the right to give illegal aliens public benefits above and beyond emergency care and education (I personally don’t think they should even get that)?

I say heck no- giving an indivual state the right to give even state benefits to people who have broken federal laws is a terrible idea. If serves as a magnet for illegals to cross the border, and it allows states like California that have a Latino majority to force law-abiding non-Latinos to subsidize the invasion.

Do you disagree?
