Jennifer, let’s choose your geographical area, with your Senator, Dianne Feinstien?

It appears the evil war criminal Diane Fienstien, who voted for the Iraq War in October 2002, and was the architect of the American police state, represents you Jennifer:

During our research we found that

California has the 5th largest economy in the world with a population of 38 million. Over half, (27%) are immigrants. The federal government is attempting to drop federal welfare benefits for all Americans, which will hurt low income Californians. These changes will not only adversely affect the poor in the state of California; it will especially affect immigrants and refugees. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) defines these poor Californian's "Public Charge". A Public charge is defined as: "An individual who is likely to become “primarily dependent on the government for subsistence, as demonstrated by either the receipt of public cash assistance for income maintenance, or institutionalization for long-term care at government expense." The proposed changes to low income benefits are draconian. These rule changes are counter to our core values as Americans. Entire communities will be economically affected by these changes.

Our brief will specifically focus on

Federal cuts to welfare will dramatically negatively affect American immigrants in the state of California
