State and local law enforcement officers know what happens when those bills are passed: the buck gets passed with it. and no money gets passed along. Mr. Speaker. police officers are also telling us why would we want to have to enforce Federal immigration laws when we have to enforce the local laws to protect our citizenry. If a crime is committed. why would an immigrant who is already living in the shadows come out of the shadows to report a crime that he or she witnessed. if he or she knows that now we will pick them up on an immigration infraction? This is crazy. But this is what we are left with these last final days. Mr. Speaker. we can have comprehensive immigration reform. The Senate did it. It is a shame that the House has not decided to follow suit.
