CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that State and local governments should be supported for taking actions to discourage illegal immigration and that legislation should be enacted to ease the burden on State and local governments for taking such actions.

Whereas the Federal Government has failed to take adequate measures to curb illegal immigration;

Whereas the failure by the Federal Government to curb illegal immigration has placed, and continues to place, a substantial burden on State and local government agencies to address illegal immigration;

Whereas many State and local government agencies have worked actively to discourage illegal immigration and to assist in the enforcement of our Nation's immigration laws;

Whereas such actions and assistance have come at great expense to State and local governments;

Whereas numerous State legislatures, such as those in Arizona, Colorado, Tennessee, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, have introduced legislation or placed initiatives and referendums on the ballot to enhance the ability of State and local agencies to discourage illegal immigration and to ease the burden placed on the States;

Whereas numerous local governments, such as those in Farmers Branch, Texas; Hazelton, Pennsylvania; Nashville, Tennessee; Valley Park, Missouri; Escondido, California; Herndon, Virginia; and Suffolk County, New York, have introduced ordinances to enhance the ability of local governments to discourage illegal immigration and to ease the burden placed on local governments; and

Whereas State and local governments continue to be confronted with the issue of illegal immigration without the prospect of immediate relief from the Federal Government: Now, therefore, be it


Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that--

(1) State and local government agencies should be supported for taking actions to discourage illegal immigration;

(2) current laws governing enforcement of our Nation's immigration laws should be enforced to the highest extent of the law; and

(3) enhanced border security and enforcement legislation should be passed quickly in order to ease the burden on State and local government agencies.
