The underlying bill Is at 31.000. This would take us to 45.000. Hopefully. that will take us to that tipping point. so then we can say to a person who has been apprehended: We are not going to release you. we are going to hold you until you are deported. Sometimes it is difficult. if they are from foreign countries. distant countries. not our border countries. to get them back to their countries. It takes some time to get a plane or a boat to ship them out. Another thing that is a part of thiscertainly. if we are serious about immigration. one of the things we want to do is welcome legitimate help ftom our State and local law enforcement agencies. There are only a few thousand Federal immigration agents inside the United Statesnot at the border. I mean inside the United States. There are 600.000plus State and local law enforcement agents. They basically have been blocked from being able to participate in any way. There is. however. a program called a 287(g) provision that gives training to State and local officers so they dont mess up. and they treat everybody exactly properly and help in an effective way to partner with Federal officers to enforce immigration laws. If you dont want immigration laws enforced. you dont want the 600.000 State and local law officers participating. See? If you dont want the law enforced. you dont want these people to participate in any way because right now we only have several thousand Federal agentsnot on the border. inside the whole United States of America.
