Raja Krishnamoorthi [press conference]: When my family came to this country when I was three months old; unfortunately my father lost his income early on, in the recession of 1973. But thanks to the generosity and goodness of the American people and it's government, we were allowed to survive and thrive in food stamps and public housing. I would not be here today if Elon Musk and Donald Trump had anything to do with those programs fifty years ago, when I was in those programs.

[within one year of coming to the United States, his family was already on government assistance]
