All the important laws in America are enforced by our police. are enforced in our State courts. The amendment included in the managers amendment would permit the Attorney General of the United States to deputize States who elect and who are willing to use their own resources to assist in the enforcement of these Federal laws. Only when we do that. only when we expand the number of personnel who are involved in picking up people in violation of the law. only when we expand the court facilities that we have to process deportation matters. are we going to have a realistic threat of enforcement of the law. That is why this amendment is so important. I note in response to my colleague from Californias concerns that the Attorney General will enter into agreements with States requiring ongoing Federal supervision of these efforts so that everything will be conducted under the watch of the INS and the Attorney General in conformity with Federal standards.
