And the problem is not limited to California. Texas. and Florida. In my own State of New York. the cost of providing services to illegal aliens is a burden on all the taxpayers of the State. The bill before us now is a first step toward dealing with the larger problem. This bill will streamline the process of deporting illegal aliens who have committed serious crimes. For example. the bill adds a number of crimes for which illegal aliens can be deported. Crimes such as trafficking in counterfeit immigration documents. serious bribery. and transporting persons for the purpose of prostitution can become a basis for deportation. The Criminal Alien Identification System is given the mission of assisting Federal. State. and local law enforcement agencies in identifying and locating aliens who may be deportable because they have committed aggravated felonies. The bill is a good beginning in dealing with a serious problem. There is much more that needs to be done to prevent the illegal immigration in the first place. I support this bill and the open rule which provides for its consideration.
