Nevertheless. Mr. Speaker. I also have a few concems about this conference report. First. I am disappointed and greatly concerned that this bills report expresses support for the expansion of the 287(g) program which allows State and local law enforcement officers to perform immigration enforcement functions. Many local law enforcement officers have stated that if they are required to enforce Federal immigration policies it would hamper their ability to successfully fight crime in their respective communities. Secondly. I am concemed about certain provisos regarding chemical plant security. Preventing the Secretary of Homeland Security to disapprove a security plan based on the presence or absence of a particular security measure. undermines the Secretarys authority to require meaningful and comprehensive security measures.
