Mr. Chairman. when I talk to my local sheriffs back home. one of whom actually burned out the battery on my cell phone. what they want to do is do what people expect them to do. and that is help the very overtaxed. no pun intended. ICE employees who are out there trying to apprehend the criminals. the criminal illegal aliens. In Florida. we were able to train 35 State and local law enforcement people under this program. under the 287(g) program. It is a good program. and. believe me. it is very much wanted by many local sheriffs. sheriffs who also get elected like we do and who get frustrated when ICE is unable to come to the jail with the frequency that they need to. who are frustrated because the citizens want illegals who have criminal records. they want them off the streets. off their lawns. and they want to once again be able to reclaim their communities. very often. from a lot of illegal activity.
