These areas will receive increased manpower and financial resource assistance to speed up the identification process and lower the enormous costs imposed on State and local criminal justice systems. The real question this bill answers is: Who will bear the responsibility for criminal aliens? Immigration is solely a Federal responsibility. and that includes fiscal responsibility. Federal fiscal responsibility doesnt just mean balancing our budgets. It means accepting all our fiscal responsibilities. rather than passing them on to State and local governments and their taxpayers. Mr. President. if any of my colleagues were to travel to the San Diego sector. and witness firsthand the overwhelming challenges faced by the dedicated men and women of our Border Patrol. they will be quick to conclude that our current border policy is not working. If any of my colleagues were to visit and talk to law enforcement leaders and lawabiding citizens In San Diego. Orange County. or Los Angeles. they will see and hear from those who are paying for the cost of our current border policy.
