Mr. President. today I have introduced a resolution which if passed will in spirit disapprove a proposal by the President of the United States to rescind $1.3 million previously appropriated by the Immigration and Naturalization Service for detention and deportation of illegal aliens. It is imperative that we act on this resolution with great speed. to set the record and to inform the President that the U.S. Senate will not approve rescissions where the integrity of the law enforcement system is put in jeopardy. Recently. in my home State of Nevada. the supervisory immigration officer for the Immigration Service sent letters to every local law enforcement agency requesting that they no longer arrest and detain illegal aliens. He cited the reason as a reduction of the immigration budget to detain and remove illegal entrants. This individual also announced this fact in the newspapers and over the broadcast media. The reduction he spoke of obviously is the $1.3 million proposed by President Ford for rescission.
