Thank you. Mr. Presldtnt. Mr. President. not only is the Sielby amendment unconstitutional. it is unfair. It is unfair to those States that have suffered an enormous impact of illegal immigration. massive illegal immigration. Those States. presumably. were taken care of by amendments to the Immigration. Reform and Control Act which foresaw the need to reimburse local governments for the massive new costs that they were experiencing. as they sought to accommodate these new citizens who were to be legalized under that act. Mr. President. what happened. in fact. is that the socalled SLIAG Program has become a target. For good purposes to be sure. whether to finance the war on drugs or to help the AIDS victims or otherwise. the SLIAG Program has been seen as a pot of money up for grabs. a real grab bag.
