My amendment was based on a simple premise. Foreign policy and defense are solely a Federal responsibility. States are not permitted to conduct their own foreign policies or maintain armies and navies. Hence. when our foreign policy fails communities held hostage by Federal action or inaction. it is the responsibility of the Federal Government to hold them harmless. Based on this principle I intend to offer an amendment to reimburse communities devastated by undocumented aliens due to foreign policy blunders. However. I believe that this might complicate swift and final action on this very important piece of legislation. And due to the exceptional consideration of the distinguished Senator from Wyoming.
