I don't mind paying for other US citizens, my neighbors.  I do not want to pay for elderly chinese that abandoned their culture to take advantage of our society

Norman Matloff - You were correct earlier when you suggested that reforms in immigration and welfare policies are related. Last year when the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform recommended cutting back on family reunification, they specifically mentioned immigrant use of welfare, especially by elderly immigrants.

Concerning Chinese, I don't know how to say this in a nice way, but elderly Chinese immigrants have become especially heavy users of welfare, relative to other nationalities. By "Chinese" I mean people from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Among all elderly Chinese immigrants who immigrated to California between 1980 and 1987, 55 percent - more than half! - were on welfare in 1990. That Chinese rate is nearly triple the Mexican rate of 21 percent.
