^ge 6/The Battalion/Wednesday, October 26,1983 Welfare fraud program saves taxpayers millions United Press International LOS ANGELES — A state- federal program designed to halt welfare fraud by illegal aliens saved California tax payers about $120 million dur ing the last fiscal year, immigra tion officials said Tuesday. Officials of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the state Department of Social Services said a different prog ram aimed at reducing unem ployment insurance benefits to illegal aliens will take effect with in the next few weeks. INS Western Regional Com missioner Harold Ezell told re porters the programs showed that illegal immigration is “not a THE CHURCH... in the world, but not of it; ancient and ever-new; never daring to rely on it self, but relying on God to keep it on course. Join us this Reformation Sun day as we remember one of God’s "reforming moments" when he used his servant Martin Luther, to force the church into re-thinking its task, its message, and its place on earth.

INS figures showed that workers reviewed 25,821 wel fare applications for citizenship or residency status and that 76 percent — or 19,673 — were assumed to be ineligible. INS Commissioner Alan Nelson said the assumption was made when the applicants failed to return with requested additional infor mation. The figures give a “clearer picture as to the kind of drain on the economy in the state of Cali fornia that really is threatening, to a degree, our economic sur vival,” Ezell said.

For the most part. Republi cans applauded the invasion, calling it “essential” and a warning to the Soviet Union that the United States will not permit “further intervention" m the Western Hemisphere. But many Democrats were skeptical, saying the landing by nearly 2,000 Army Rangers and Marines was “an act of war." Rep. Michael Barnes, D- Md., chairman of the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Western Hemisphere Affairs, called the action an in vasion and said it raises se rious international legal ques tions. But Speaker Thomas O’Neill refused to criticize the invasion. “We weren’t asked our advice. We were informed what was taking place,” O’Neill said of the While 1 louse meeting. “I have no in tent to gel into any type of dia logue critical of my govern ment at this time.” Senate Foreign Relations Gommittee Ghairman Charles Percy, R-Ill., flown from Chi cago in the pre-dawn darkness on an Air Force jet for the meeting, said, “Our primary responsibility is to protect the 1,000 Americans in Gre nada." "They were endangered. The island was in chaos. There were orders to shoot on sight violators of the 24-hour curfew. This action seemed essential,” Percy said. Sen. John Tower, R-Texas, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said, "Given our vital interests in the island and the grave concern of friendly stales in the area we had no practical alternative.” Sen. Strom Thurmond, R- S.C., president pro tern of the Senate, said American lives “were directly threatened by the ruling junta in Grenada, and the United Slats has a direct responsibility to protect them." Sen. John C ha fee, R-R.L, said, “I give the president the benefit of the doubt when I don’t know all the facts. The facts as slated support his case.” He said his opinion could change if it turns out the Americans were safe. Chafee said the invasion oi Grenada, coming shortly alter the massacre of U.S. Marines in Beirut, was “an unhappy confluence of events, rather than a result of the United States projecting its power all over the world all at once.” But Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y., called action “an act o('war."Moi ban told reporters theUniJ Slat es “does not hateiil right” to invade GrenadiJ restore democracy there. E Sen.
