Mr. Speaker. I rise today in strong support of H.R. 1512. to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide for compensation to States incarcerating undocumented aliens charged with a felony or two or more misdemeanors. introduced by my distinguished colleague from California. Representative LINDA SANCHEZ. of which I am a proud cosponsor. Mr. Speaker. for over a decade. the States have gone through difficult budgetary times and sometimes the federal government has not done enough to pay its fair share when the States have partnered with it. I am glad H.R. 1512 is a step in the right direction.
