Mr. SCHUMER and myself. The issue is the need for Federal reimbursement to those.States who have incurred considerable expense in the incarceration of undocumented aliens. As I testified before the House Rules Committee when I sought to have this amendment made in order under the rule I stated: As of May 1983. there were 4.000 such individuals in State prisons comprised of undocumented aliens and those who are here on temporary visas. Of these more than 40 percent or 1.811 are located in New York and Florida. The following other states also have undocumented aliens in their prisons and would be eligible for federal reimbursementNew Jersey. Pennsylvania. New Mexico.
