I am very sympathetic to the needs of Texas and other States that have the highest criminal alien incarceration populations and believe that the additional $100 million the House provides for in the program will alleviate most of the problems that my colleagues are encountering. I recognize the need for those affected States to have greater flexibility in using their staff reimbursements. If we are not able to provide them this additional funding, I will work with my colleague and others to find a solution.
