In the United States there are over 50.000 prisoners in State and Federal facilities who are not American citizens. The incarceration of criminal aliens costs taxpayers between $15.000 and $30.000 per inmate annually. Last year. American citizens spent between $800 million and $1 billion feeding. clothing. and housing illegal aliens. It is a grave injustice to hold States like New Jersey hostile to such expenses for the Federal Governments failure. Mr. Chairman. illegal immigration has taken a toll on this country. Illegal aliens who commit crimes exact personal costs to the people they hurt as well as economic costs to those States who have to burden those costs. I urge an opposition to this amendment.
