This shared responsibility is recognized in this bill by a provision for Federal block grant assistance to the States based on a formula which recognizes the number of legalized aliens in each State. The administration has assured me that there will be provision for $1.1 billion to $1.4 billion available for that block grant program. This is the issue. These people we are talking about here are economic migrants who came here to workyoung. single males. Under a recent Supreme Court decision. we already have a requirement that all alien children in this country are entitled to a free public education. So legalization alone will not increase that.
