As I said when we opened this debate. I believe a fiscally responsible funding level includes sufficient resources to carry out all legislative functions and directions. This amendment helps to restore some balance of resources to meet the bills mandate for ICE to contact every correctional facility across the country. over 5.000 of them. at least once a month to identify incarcerated aliens that can be deported and to initiate those deportation proceedings. That mandate is a lofty goal. Over 5.000 local and State jails and detention facilities that you have got to contact monthly and talk to the jailers who are State or local officials and are not being paid to help you with this. it is an unfunded mandate. and who are also not qualified to judge whether or not a person that is incarcerated is an illegal alien. It is not their job. and they are not trained for it. So that is going to be a difficult goal to implement and one that is unfunded but.
