That is correct. My amendment is intended to cover programs which are in the interest of the community and are needed for the fundamental health or safety of the immigrant or the community. In giving the authority to make the determination to the Attorney General. it is my expectation that decisions regarding which programs to designate under this authority will be made with immigration law enforcement interests in mind as well. The kinds of program which I would envision being designated under this amendment are soup kitchens. battered womens shelters. rape crisis centers. and other similar programs. It will not cover entitlement programs.
