That is their report. In 2005. the General Accounting Office report found between 1993 and 2001 the COPS Program contributed to a steady decrease in the crime rates. This amendment is going to have a very chilling effect on victims and witnesses in the immigrant community. who would otherwise report crimes. Finally. the amendment would reverse successful Federal crime policies that recognize that State and local law enforcement know what is best in their community to drive down the crime rate. It would disregard the judgment of 70 law enforcement jurisdictions that found immigration status confidentiality policies are an effective part of communityoriented policing in their States. counties. and cities. To vote for the Vitter amendment. to stay with the Vitter amendment. is to vote. I believe. against effective law enforcement.
