Mr. Chairman. the gentleman from Texas has been very active on this issue in our committee. The view of the gentleman from Texas is that perhaps local law enforcement should have an opportunity to fully enforce Federal immigration laws. That did not prevail. But what did prevail in our committee was clearly the understanding that at certain times cooperative efforts involving Federal. State. and local law enforcement officials are very important and that some areas. some activities. would involve the enforcement of the Nations immigration laws. May I ask my friend. the gentleman from California. does the gentlemans amendment suggest that there can be no further State. local. and Federal activities of cooperation in which the Nations immigration laws would be enforced?
