Congress make clear in 1996 that it sought to ensure that aliens admitted to the country do not rely on Public Benefits. That by making them ineligible for the most part for those benefits . It did of course make them ineligible. Concludedhat congress that after you have been here for a number of years, you are eligible for benefits, that reflects that you cannot predict for total accuracy what they will need. Predictere trying to this regulation. Correct. A difference between saying we did not predict this and saying we will authorize you to use benefits. That is different. They were not eligible before this point. That is right. Did not expect you to use them. Congress had every opportunity to elaborate on the public charge revision. Instead, they ignore that, y had 20tanding that the years before. They chose to deal with the problem in a different way. Understand how you draw from that the fact that congress chose to deal with this. They did not want to create an incentive. By makin
People handled . Just to give you a few numbers to think about as we start off, according to the un, there are 272 million migrants in the world, so were talking about people who have moved from country to country. That is a large number. 3. 5 of the global population. But another number more striking is 70 million displaced persons and if you think about that, we are living at a time where we see more people forced out of their lives and out of their homes, sometimes out of their countries than at any time in history, we see these people on the move. Over half of them, over half of the refugees that are in other countries are from three countries, syria, afghanistan and south suzanne. South sudan, which is also really striking. When you think about what this means for policy, obviously has to be policy for handling refugees, policy for migration, policy for immigration of people who are not refugees. The country still today, the at has the largest foreignborn population is the United

Whatsoever. They made the argument that it makes sense to try the case and then consider documents. They made no argument that the white make sense to have trial without witnesses are and why, because its indefensible. Its indefensible. No trial in america has ever been conducted like that, and so you would nothing about it. And that should be the most telling thing about councils argument. They had no defense of the mcconnell resolution because there is done. They couldnt defend on the basis of president , they couldnt defend on the base of history, based on the constitution, they couldnt defend at all. So what did they say . First they made the representation that the house is claiming there is a such thing as executive privilege. Thats nonsense. No one here has ever suggested theres no such thing as executive privilege but the interesting thing here is they have never claimed executive privilege.
