This is called
indemnification. It would allow officers to fulfill their law
enforcement responsibilities without second-guessing whether to keep
potentially dangerous criminal aliens in custody. Reforming our Nation's immigration policies is no easy task, let me
tell you. It is slow, frustrating work in the Senate, but as we
continue the debate, local law enforcement shouldn't be left to
shoulder the burden as a result of Washington's failure to secure our
borders and implement a workable enforcement policy. I urge my colleagues to support this commonsense legislation that
will give State and local law enforcement the certainty of knowing the
Federal Government has their back.
