In summary. we feel very strongly about your proposed reduction because it disproportionately places the burden of funding the drug war on our states. It seemingly ignores the IRCA compromise and the critical need for assured SLIAG funding. and asis our states to pay more than their fair share. Illegal immigration and border control is a federal issue. and it should be responded to in that manner. not by shifting the responsibility to the states that are already on the receiving end of refugees. recent influxes of political asylee populations. and the continual stream of illegal aliens. We hope you will agree that cutting SLIAG is inappropriate and unfair to our states and urge you not to move forward on this particular matter. However. in the event you feel compelled to proceed. we respectfully request that you give us the opportunity to meet with you to present our arguments in depth.
