Speech #960133691

All you have to do is read the language itself. There is nothing in the report to indicate that this is an authorization to use funds to rebuild present fences. Actually. it says. "acquisition of land." If it is to rebuild present fences. you do not need to acquire any land. but that is the authority you are giving the INS. the Immigration Service. I say to you that as far as I am concerned. I would like to take this section out. and if my colleague. the gentleman from Texas does not offer the amendment. I will. to strike this provision out of this bill. If it is intended to help us keep illegal aliens out of this country. it darn sure is not doing the work. I asked how much money is authorized. I would like to be able to answer questions like that.
