Text
The general assembly hereby finds and
declares that the failure to enforce immigration laws at the federal level places an
undue burden on state government resources and that there is a limitation on what
can be done at the state level to enforce the federal laws and to implement laws at
the state level. The general assembly further finds that the state of Colorado
spends a disproportionate share of its limited tax revenue on public services and
benefits such as health care, law enforcement, criminal defense and incarceration,
and education that are provided to illegal aliens as a result of the federal
government's failure to enforce immigration laws. Therefore, the Colorado state
attorney general shall initiate or join other states in a lawsuit against the United
States attorney
