Mr. Chairman. today we are considering an amendment olfered by my colleague. Congressman ROHRABACHER. that would require school districts receiving funds under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to survey and report to the Department of Education the number of children in their schools who are undocumented residents or are the children of undocumented residents. Many Members have observed that this amendment is an unfunded Federal mandate because it would impose requirements on local school districts without providing them the funds necessary to implement the mandate. My colleagues who have labeled the amendment as an unfunded Federal mandate are correct.
