Speech #1010080248

This is the equivalent of two new teachers per day and one new school per month Just for the Nicaraguan children. The Federal Governments failure to reimburse Florida for costs incurred by this crisis is outrageous. The States take no part in establishing the policy that contols or causes illegal immigration. The Federal Government. therefore. has the responsibility to reimburse the States 100 percent for the consequences of failed Federal immigration policy. Appropriating section 113 of IRCA should be the first step toward acknowledging this Federal responsibilty. It will then be in the hands of the Attorney General to use his discretion to finally reimburse Florida for the millions of dollars it has spent for this failed Federal policy.
