Yet after they come to my district. after a very few months of Federal support. the financial cost for maintaining them. for educating them and for dealing with their medical needs winds up being assumed by the local government. That is not fair. Local governments do not make the foreign policy decisions that determine who our refugees are. and local governments do not have anything to do with what policies the Federal Government follows with respect to immigration. I would suggest to the gentleman if you do not like Federal immigration policy. shoot the right messenger. This one shoots the wrong messenger. This amendment deserves to be roundly defeated. unless you believe that somebody should pay for somebody elses mistakes.
