Government to control our borders. I recognize that many States are carrying a significant financial burden to educate these children. That is why I believe we must focus more efforts and resources on enforcing our borders to stop illegal immigrants from coming to this country in the first place. and improve enforcement of immigration laws to ensure that people who initially come to this country legally do not overstay their visa. For too many years. the Federal Government has failed to enforce our immigration laws. and we are paying the price for that inaction. Consequently. I believe that the Federal Government should fully reimburse the States for the costs incurred for educating illegal alien children. I appreciate the efforts made by the gentleman from California to address the negative consequences of illegal immigration. However. I strongly oppose efforts to banish any children from the classroom. regardless of whether they are in this country legally.
