The INS agreed to continue the program indefinitely pending the continuation of appropriated funds. I have worked diligently on this issue because criminal conduct has no place in our communities. Moreover. undocumented criminal aliens should be quickly and permanently deported. Not only do I support the permanent deportation of undocumented criminal aliens. I want them caught before they commit crimes and jeopardize our communities. Without Federal assistance in undertaking this law enforcement effort. undocumented criminal aliens could cause undue harm to women. men. and children. Furthermore. immigration matters such as the determination of the immigration status of aliens is a Federal function. Local law enforcement should not perform the rightful duties of INS agents. Police must continue to take care when arresting individuals. Arrests must be based on probable cause and not on some profile based on ethnicity. The Federal Government should do all it can to avoid burdening state and local police budgets with the cost of identifying. apprehending and deporting undocumented criminal aliens. As a fiscal conservative. I believe Congress must implement a costeffective program that deploys INS enforcement officers in the most efficient manner.
