[[Page H 7918]]

       (2) In the case of any filing, inquiry, or adjudication of

     disability.
       (c) Public Policy of the United States.--The Congress 
     finds:
       (1) Federal or State provision of taxpayer-supported non-
     emergency services of all types to aliens not lawfully in the 
     United States encourages the violation of federal immigration 
     laws and is contrary to the public policy of the United 
     States;
       (2) Denial of such services to aliens not lawfully in the 
     United States would operate harmoniously with the Federal 
     immigration laws, and would be an effective method of dealing 
     with urgent demographic and economic problems;
       (3) One of the purposes of Federal immigration law is to 
     conserve Federal and State taxpayer resources;
       (4) Upholding Federal immigration policy in this way would 
     improve the quality of education, health care, and other 
     services in the States for citizens and aliens lawfully in 
     the United States;
       (5) Provision of such services by the Federal Government or 
     the States encourages illegal immigration, imposing severe 
     burdens on the economies of the States that are the principal 
     destinations of aliens not lawfully in the United States, and 
     reduces the amount of funds available for legal residents and 
     citizens of the United States; and
       (6) Provision of such services by the Federal Government or 
     the States ultimately imposes serious costs on the Federal 
     Government, by virtue both of the Federal role in providing 
     funds for State health, education, and other services and of 
     the increased demand for Federal funds created by the 
     economic dislocation caused by illegal immigration;
       (7) The determination by the Federal Government or any 
     State not to reward illegal immigration with taxpayer 
     services of any type for aliens not lawfully in the United 
     States is fully consistent with the objectives of Federal 
     immigration law and furthers legitimate Federal and State 
     goals.
