White House promotes immigration efforts and funding
Lawsuits filed by Florida, California and Arizona
[CE
WASHINGTON (AP) -
States would be better off lob-
bying Congress for more funds
to defray the burdens of immi-
gration than suing the federal
government to recoup the costs,
the White House’s budget direc-
tor says.
Leon Panetta offered pointed
criticism Tuesday of the law-
suits filed by Florida, California
and Arizona to recoup some of
the billions of dollars spent on
illegal immigrants. Texas has
indicated that it also will file
suit this summer.
The White House estimates
that the fiscal 1995 budgej pre-
sented to Congress includes $45
billion earmarked for staifeSHtb
help defray the costs of educa-
tion, medical care and other* ser-
vices for immigrants, legal and
illegal. That represents a 32 pe(-
cent increase over the arfio'prtt
sought by the Bush administra-
tion for fiscal 1993, PanefjhJ
said.
Texas would get $458 mifijpp

fully funds the administration
request — than what was sbugjht

She noted that the appearance
today by Wilson and the other
governors before the Senate
Appropriations Committee
resulted from an April letter
signed by Wilson and four other
governors seeking a forum.
Texas Gov. Ann Richards,
who like Wilson is running for
re-election, wasn’t among the
signers and didn’t travel to
Capitol Hill to testify. Spokes-
woman Leticia Vasquez said the
governor had a longstanding
commitment to meet with a
group of senior citizens and is
planning a trip to Washington
next week.
The states that are suing con-

hasn’t done enough to curb ille-

“We recognize there is a fed-
eral responsibility that involves
controlling immigration into
this country,” Panetta said.
But, he added: “Clearly the
states have some responsibility
here. It isn’t just a question of
totally passing on all responsi-
bility to the federal government
with its education, with its
health care, with its other ser-
vices.”
“We totally reject Leon
Panetta’s premise that we have
not been working with the Con-
gress,” said Leslie Goodman, a
spokeswoman for Wiison in
Washington. “We have been
working tirelessly pacing the
corridors of Congress to try and
get what is rightly California’s
fair share.”

TP&W officials said tests indi-

primarily by viral or infectious dis-

ruled out heavy metals or organic
pollutants.
“After various tests of dead fish

present points to a man-made
cause,” said Dave Buzan, leader of
