When we pressed him harder. he finally said. Look. I can go right outside the door on the street in front of our building and find 5 people who are In a similar status. who have overstayed their visas. are not authorized in the country. We simply dont have the manpower and resources to take this action and to apprehend people who are not here legally. This provision in the bill would enable the Attorney General to designate local law enforcement authorities in Roanoke. VA and everywhere else in the country to be able to step in and assist in dealing with what is a very. very difficult problem for the understaffed. undermanned Immigration Service to handle. I commend the gentleman for including this in the bill and strongly urge support for the managers amendment.
