Mr. Chairman. I rise in favor of the amendment and point out to my colleagues that the concern that was previously stated about the participation of States or local government in the issue of immigration control as being somehow a new radical idea just is not reflected in reality. Especially the gentleman from California. my colleague from California. must obviously be aware that the State of California at this time participates in immigration control through the participation of the National Guard of the State of California. who actually not only does observation and enforcement along the border for the INS but also does transportation and transport and processing for the Federal Government. And so this localFederal cooperative effort on immigration control is not something new that is in this bill. It basically is a reflection of reality. that there are certain situations out there that we need to do in cooperation with States and local government. Mr.
