Rep. Blackburn Introduces CLEAR Act
Updated Friday, May 15, 2009, 10:18 AM
Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) introduced, H.R. 2406, the Clear Law Enforcement for Criminal Alien Removal (CLEAR) Act of 2009. The bill's key element is in "helping local law enforcement detect, arrest and detain illegal aliens in their communties."
Another major proponent of the bill would reinstate funding for the incarceration of illegal aliens that was cut from Pres. Barack Obama's FY2010 budget proposal. The State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) receives $400 million per year. In addition to continuing the funding for SCAAP, the CLEAR Act also would provide the following enhancements to promote sound enforcement of immigration law:
Recognition of local law enforcement authority to help enforce immigration law;
Improved information sharing with the federal government;
Requirements for the federal government to expeditiously remove criminal aliens;
Increased federal resources for local governments that choose to enforce the law; and
The CLEAR Act of 2009 will ensure that local governments are not saddled with an unfunded mandate by the federal government when it refuses to enforce the law.
The CLEAR Act has 19 original cosponsors who will be recognized on the NumbersUSA front page over the upcoming weeks.
For those of you who do not have House Members sponsoring the bill, there is a fax on your Action Buffet urging them to do so.
