RSSCornyn Backs Legislation To Increase Federal Reimbursements For Incarcerating Criminal Aliens
J.J. Jackson | February 7, 2008
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, ranking member of the Immigration and Border Security subcommittee, has signed on as an original co-sponsor of two new bipartisan bills to ensure states and localities are fully reimbursed in a timely manner for costs of incarcerating criminal aliens. The legislation strengthens the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP), which reimburses states and counties for the unfunded mandate of detaining illegal immigrants arrested in connection with crimes other than immigration violations. The bills also expand the types of services covered to include not only detention of convicted criminal aliens but also those charged with a crime.
