I must express my disappointment that this legislation cuts all funds for fiscal year 1992 for a program of great importance to the Hispanic community and the border region. the State Legalization Impact Assistance Program. SLIAG. This program was created as part of the 1986 Immigration law to help States cope with the costs of providing critical education. health. and social services to newly legalized immigrants. Many communitybased organizations that provide these vital services depend on receiving SLIAG funding. This issue is especially important to the Hispanic community. as more than 80 percent of the 3 million people legalized under the 1986 law are Hispanic.
