“States are raising their voices in the Capitol Hill debate over immigration reform, telling Congress they have a financial stake in how the United States deals with those here illegally.

States specifically are lobbying for two sources of federal funding that would help them cover the cost of services they provide to the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the country.

The U.S. Senate-passed immigration bill contains a provision that would raise an estimated $7.5 billion from fees imposed on immigrants seeking legalization to reimburse states for emergency health care and education costs. Separately, states are pressing Congress to continue a program zeroed out in President Bush’s fiscal 2007 budget proposal that allots hundreds of millions of dollar for law enforcement costs generated by illegal border crossers.”
