Los Angeles. and Tucson bear the full brunt of this policy failure. They did not ask for this problem. yet they are forced to deal with its very human consequences. Immigration control is a Federal responsibility. It is my position that the Federal Government should assume the primary financial responsibility for the community impacts caused by the immigration of refugees. immigrants. and undocumented aliens. In short. Mr. President. this amendment allows the Federal Government to shirk that responsibility and shift it to State and local governments who do not have a role in establishing Federal immigration policy. I strongly object to this amendment and intend to vote against it.
