Scarnati introduces legislation regarding illegal aliens


Proposed state legislation would make it harder for illegal aliens living in Pennsylvania to receive public benefits.

Senate Bill 9 — formally known as the Proof of Citizenship for Receipt of Public Benefits Act — was introduced by Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati, R-Brockway, and would prevent illegal aliens from receiving such benefits as Medicaid, welfare and in-state college tuition without identification proving they are legal residents.

The legislation, which has 24 co-sponsors, currently sits in front of the State Government Committee.

“This is a straightforward matter of Pennsylvania citizens not having to sacrifice their hard-earned dollars to subsidize immigrants who are in this country illegally,â€

The House side of the Pa legislature has 5 bills aimed at illegals.....covering just about everything.
