Senator HAWKINS. the ranking minority member of the subcommittee. and I agreed to this amendment. A similar version was approved by the conference committee. It simply provides. in the event of another Mariel Harbortype emergency. that moneys will be available from an immigration emergency revolving fund to offset State and local costs to allow for an increase in enforcement activities. I think it is true to state that it should have no impact on the budget issues. because the fund is contingent upon a Presidentially declared immigration emergency. Under this amendment. assistance will be provided when . is requested by the Attorney General after the emergency has been declared. That is my understanding.
