Speech #1040267529

Now. some of our colleagues are defending Governors. like Governor Chiles in Florida. who is suing the tobacco companies to recover health care costs because of the tobacco deteriorating ones health and costing the States moneys. Well. I would suggest to Governor Chiles that he sue the Federal Government to recover moneys for education benefits paid to illegals. In Florida we are spending $800 million to $3 billion annually for illegal immigration. Now. clearly. this Congress stepped up to the challenge when Mexico needed to help in its currency to the tune of $20 billion. But how are States like Florida.
