Undocumented criminal immigrants: costs of incarceration: collection of data.

Existing federal law requires the federal government to compensate a state for the costs of incarcerating undocumented criminal illegal immigrants, or to take the undocumented criminal immigrant into federal custody, as specified. This bill would require the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to annually bill the federal government for the costs of incarcerating undocumented criminal immigrants. The bill would require the Attorney General to utilize all available legal resources to obtain reimbursement if the federal government fails to make payment. This bill would also require the Department of Justice to collect data on the total number of and percentage of undocumented immigrant inmates in all state and local correctional institutions in the state and to publish the data on its Internet Web site, as specified. The data would be required to be annually updated and published.
