On the recordMay 25, 2006
I do not want to take a whole bunch of additional time repeating what I have previously said. Right now we have a very difficult time where illegal immigration is concerned, and employers tell all of us that the system we have in place right now for identifying whether or not a proposed employee is a legal resident is broken. It simply does not work. The President has asked for $110 million to work on this problem. We propose in this budget to give him $90 million. Mr. Chairman, I know the chairman supports the concept. The chairman and the committee chose not to give full funding. We simply recommend full funding, and we take the funds that are necessary from the Office of the Under Secretary of Management. Mrs. Miller of Michigan joins me in this request.
