This policy is unworkable and Inherently discriminatory. Furthermore. the amendment overburdens FEMA and the INS. FEMAs first priority ought to center around providing assistance to those In need. and the INS needs to concentrate its work along our borders to prevent Illegal immigration in the first place. These are issues that deserve deliberation and investigation. not cursory political negotiations. If representatives believe In the necessity of limiting FEMA assistance to undocumented populations. such a policy should have been debated and scrutinized during the full legislative process. Everyone loses when illprepared and hasty deals are struck to placate Members with political agendas that stretch beyond emergency assistance. It is critical for all to realize that the emergency supplemental appropriations stretches beyond emergency assistance for distressed communities.
