Mr. President. the amendment that I was going to offer was quite simple. The intent of the amendment would make good on the Federal Governments. this body as well as the House of Representatives and the administrations promise. to reimburse States and local governments for their health care. education and public assistance costs under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) for the approximately 3 million persons who were granted amnesty under that act. Under IRCA. the State Legalization Impact Assistance Grant program. commonly referred to as the SLIAG program. was enacted to reimburse State and local government costs of the amnesty program. The law provided for $4 billion through fiscal year 1994 for this program.
