Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committees on Education and Workforce, Financial Services, Transportation and Infrastructure, and Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Bill 119 HR 746, also known as the "To limit eligibility for Federal benefits for certain immigrants, and for other purposes" bill, aims to restrict access to federal benefits for certain immigrants. The bill seeks to establish stricter eligibility criteria for immigrants seeking federal assistance, with the goal of reducing the financial burden on the government.

Under this bill, immigrants would be required to meet specific criteria in order to qualify for federal benefits. This includes demonstrating a certain level of financial stability and proving that they are not a burden on the government. Additionally, the bill would limit the types of benefits that immigrants can receive, focusing on essential services such as healthcare and education.

Proponents of the bill argue that it is necessary to ensure that federal benefits are reserved for those who truly need them, and that immigrants should not be able to access these benefits without meeting certain requirements. They believe that this will help to reduce government spending and prevent abuse of the system. Opponents of the bill, however, argue that it unfairly targets immigrants and could lead to increased poverty and hardship for vulnerable populations. They believe that all individuals, regardless of their immigration status, should have access to essential services and support from the government. Overall, Bill 119 HR 746 is a controversial piece of legislation that seeks to limit eligibility for federal benefits for certain immigrants. It is likely to spark debate and discussion among lawmakers and the public as it moves through the legislative process.
