Mr. Speaker. I rise today in support of H.R. 4134. a bill that allows States to deny public education benefits to illegal immigrants. This bill is only a matter of fundamental fairness. States are trying hard to balance their budgets. Meanwhile. a growing population of illegal immigrants strain the public resources of the State and local governments. We order the States to give taxpayers funded public education. to who? To those who are here illegally. Is this not an unfunded Federal mandate. which we just passed legislation to discontinue? Come on. At a time when we are trying to introduce common sense to Washington.
