At the same time, Russian emigre communities around the country are reportedly in a pan- ic, with new immigrants scram- bling to figure out what the changes will mean for them. Although short of his cam- paign pledge to "end welfare as we know it," the plan outlines new measures to help wean im- poverished families off welfare, including job training, child care and subsidized work programs. To help pay for the plan, Mr. Clinton has proposed cutting aid directly to immigrants and indi- rectly to refugees, threatening en- titlements for tens of thousands of newcomers each year, includ- ing thousands of Jews from the former Soviet Union. Under the current system, most Jewish emigres from the former Soviet Union arrive in the United States under the spon- sorship of a previously arrived family member, who promises to support the newcomer for up to three years. In addition, the Jewish com- munity, in conjunction with the State Department, provides Eng- lish and job-training programs for eight months. Following that period, the emigres often go on welfare as they continue to learn English and look for employment. Mr. Clinton's plan proposes ex- tending the period of time from three to five years that a sponsor is financially responsible for an immigrant. Families earning more than $38,500 would be responsible for immigrant relatives for 10 years, according to Mr. Clinton's pro- posals. During the sponsorship peri- od, no food stamps, social securi- ty insurance, Medicaid or funds through Aid to Families with De- pendent Children are available unless the combined family in- come is lower than the national poverty level. Under Mr. Clinton's proposal, Medicaid funding would still kick in after the original three years, but the other assistance pro- grams would not be available un- til after five years. The president's plan includes a six-year exemption for refugees, or those who are admitted into the country by demonstrating a well-founded fear of persecution in their homeland. However, while the refugees are eligible to enter the welfare system for six years, if the wel- fare system is revamped to re- duce eligibility to two years, as the president has proposed, then
