Mr. President. yesterday. the Senate approved an amendment that Senator HUTCHISON and I offered to bolster one of the strongest tools local and State law enforcement agencies have to Identify and deport criminal aliens in our country. The Criminal Alien Tracking Centeralso known as the Law Enforcement Support Center (LESC]-is the only online national data base available to local law enforcement agencies to identify criminal illegal aliens. I am proud that this facility is located in South Burlington. VT. Our amendment will increase the authorization for the LESC in recognition of the need to bring additional States online as well as expand the scope of the work being done at the tracking center.
