Mr. Chairman. the inability of the Federal Government to enforce our immigration laws has forced States like California and Texas to spend billions of taxpayers dollars to provide servicessuch as education and health careon illegal aliens. I support the amendment offered by my colleague from California. DUNCAN HUNTER. which increases the Immigration and Naturalization Service budget by $60 million to combat illegal immigration. Illegal immigration depresses U.S. wages and displaces American workers. State and county governments have been financially devastated by this Nations inability to enforce current immigration laws. In light of the devastating impact illegal immigration has on the United States and especially my home State of California. I strongly believe additional resources must be provided to the Border Patrol in order to control illegal immigration. Mr. Chairman. the combination of continued illegal immigration. increased taxes. and job displacement is too much for the American worker to accept. Give the Border Patrol a fighting chancesupport the Hunter amendment.
