If only 170 others voted against this that means it passed, correct?

RIGHT ON THE MONEY! THE CITIZENS OF MEXICO ARE LAUGHING UP THEIR SLEEVES AT THE STUPID AMERICANS. WHAT OTHER COUNTRY WOULD ALLOW YOU TO ROAM AROUND FREELY AND HAVE YOUR WELFARE AND FOOD STAMPS SENT TO A POST OFFICE BOX SOMEWHERE. IT IS HARD TO TRACK THESE PEOPLE DOWN WHEN NEEDED BECAUSE HALF THE TIME THEY ARE DOWN IN MEXICO BUILDING THEIR NEW HOME.

Ron Paul is right, the policy attracts the wrong kind of people and breeds resentment among the tax paying population. End the welfare entitlement for immigrants.

"The welfare state, not immigration per se, is the real culprit behind many of the social ills attributed to immigration," Paul stated. "America should welcome immigrants from around the world who want to come to this country, work hard, and create a better life for themselves. The hardworking immigrants who built this nation before any welfare system existed truly exemplified American ideals. Our current welfare state, however, distorts incentives by enabling recent immigrants to obtain taxpayer-funded benefits like food stamps. This system often attracts the wrong kind of immigrants and causes understandable resentment among taxpayers." "Only by ending welfare can we insure that immigrants come to America for the right reasons," Paul concluded. "New immigrants should seek freedom and opportunity, not government handouts. Sensible immigration policies start with sensible welfare reform policies."
Interesting comments here by the most conservative member of the House of Reps, Rep. Ron Paul. While Paul supports open-borders immigration (gag), he supports dismantling the free welfare, educational, and medical government benefits and reversing the offer of free citizenship for babies born to illegals in the US which lure millions to break US law and enter this country by the millions. I wholeheartedly agree with his comments about these social-welfare state trappings attracting "the wrong kind of immigrants". If we could pass laws which take away the incentives for illegals to break the law, we would have to spend a lot less time and money enforcing the law against illegal immigrant law breakers and their law-breaking employers. Shame on Bush and Hastert for sponsoring one of the GOP Congress's most enduring accomplishments--passing a common-sense welfare reform over the opposition of a President opposed to welfare reform for some of the very same reasons as Bush and Hastert! Surprise, surprise!

Congressman Ron Paul yesterday voted to uphold welfare reform laws that revoked the eligibility of most legal immigrants to receive food stamps. And the illegal aliens?

It's good to see corporations like Amoco help our Indian immigrants with jobs in their stores. I'm sure they probably get the usual 5 year "no tax" break, that other immigrants have gotten.
That will help them stay off the welfare roles.
Damn, a 5 year "no tax" break would help me a hell of a lot too.
Oh that's right, some of us have to pay taxes so that others won't have to work and politicians can continue to get their above "cost of living" pay increases while we continue to lose ground.
Oh well, I guess as long as I can still call myself "American" it's worth it, right?
BIG BUMP for Ron Paul.
