They are In our States. The Senator from Florida knows better than anybody just how many come into his State day after day without the proper authority. So the Senator from Nebraska has come up with an appealing amendment and it says. "Hey. were not going to spend taxpayers dollars taking and reimbursing any State that treats somebody who is here undocumented." What does That do? Number one. it shifts the pri zlary responsibility of the Federal Government to manage the control of people across their borders to the States. That is not the States responsibility. It never has been. nor should it be. In Arizona. in this Senators State. we have had hospitals that have gone broke because the Federal Government refused or did not have the money to reimburse for handling undocumented health care needs. That is something that we cannot ignore. The Senator from Nebraska is asking us to seriously jeopardize any State that has any sizable number. but even if a State does not have a sizable number.
