I expect if I offer other amendments that there likewise will be an objection. so I will not at this time make further offerings of amendments. but I do have in my hand further amendmentsamendment No. 1208. which is an amendment I would offer if possible. I also have another amendment. amendment No. 1247. which deals with State impact assistance fees. One of the reasons people are so upset about the Federal Governments complete failure to deal with border security and enforce our immigration laws is that most of the consequences fall on local taxpayers. In my State of Texas. the Federal Government has issued a mandate that says no matter who shows up in your schools. your communities. or in your hospitals. you have to treat them. you have to provide services to them. but the Federal Government doesnt pay for it. The Federal Government needs to pay for these unfunded mandates. and this State impact assistance fee amendment will provide that kind of relief to local taxpayers.
