DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2008 -- (House of Representatives - June 14, 2007)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. WELDON of Florida. Mr. Chairman, this is a very good amendment. The State of Arizona reports it has saved $10.2 million by removing illegal aliens into Federal custody.

The City of Nashville, Tennessee, in it's first year of implementing this program, is reportedly on track to deport as many as 4,200 illegal immigrants.

This is a good program. It needs to be expanded. The lady should be commended. All of my colleagues should vote in support of this very valuable amendment.
