Speaker. I rise today to express my strong support for an INS pilot program In the city of Anaheim. CA. which has successfully identified and deported criminal aliens In city detention facilities In my congressional district. Yesterday the Immigration and Claims Subcommittee held a hearing to receive testimony regarding the program. The chief of police of the city of Anaheim testified about the success the city has had in removing criminal aliens from my congressional district. I have consistently advocated that criminal aliens should be quickly and permanently deported. Not only do I support the permanent deportation of criminal aliens. I want them caught before they commit crimes and Jeopardize our communities. Without Federal assistance in undertaking this law enforcement effort. criminal aliens could cause undue harm to women. men and children. The Federal Government should do all it can to avoid burdening State and local police budgets with the cost of identifying. apprehending and deportIng criminal aliens. The pilot program in the city of Anaheim has resulted In a very successful track record of detentions and deportations of criminal aliens. Because I fully endorse the programs success. I contacted the INS and requested that the Anaheim portion of the pilot program be continued.
