Mr. Chairman. now. I have no objection to an open and fair immigration policy. but I do have an objection when those refugees come into this country. are then dropped on the local doorstep and the Federal Government forgets its obligation to then help train and educate those children. Those local school districts should not have to carry that burden alone. All this amendment does with respect to Indian children is to recognize that the Federal Government should not be transferring large financial burdens back to local school districts to carry out what essentially is a Federal responsibility. And I would urge support for the amendment.
