This is unfairand for many reasons. of which I will only discuss a few this evening. It is within the purview and responsibility of Congress to act to end and to avoid further extension of this unfairness. My State of Florida brought suit in the Federal courts. brought suit on the basis that our State had been asked to shoulder hundreds of millions of dollars of responsibilities for legal and illegal immigrants. responsibility which should have been a national obligation. As the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals explained in its 1995 decision. Chiles versus the United States: The overall statutory scheme established for immigration demonstrates that Congress intended whether the Attorney General is adequately guarding the borders of the United States to be "committed to agency discretion by law" and. thus. unreviewable. Florida must seek relief in Congress. We conclude that whether the level of illegal immigration is an "invasion" of Florida and whether this level violates the guarantee of a republican form of government presents nonjusticiable political questions. Essentially. what the court was saying is. do not come to us for justice. You must seek justice in the political arm of the Federal Government. the Congress of the United States.
