Mr. President. it is all too rare that we hear about the courageous and meritorious actions of the officers of the Border Patrol and the immigration and Naturalization Service. Seldom do we hear about the real services these officers provide for the country. even for the illegal aliens they apprehend. Border patrolmen share their food with hungry illegal migrants. they provide vital ambulance and medical services to citizens on both sides of the border. and they give help to literally millions of Americans who cross our borders each year. I was quite pleased to see a border patrolman given recognition for a special act of valor. Frank Hopkinson. a Miamibased Border Patrol officer on temporary assignment to the San Diego area. was recently honored by two Mexican civic organizations for saving a Mexican citizen from drowning in the ocean off Tijuana. Mexico. on September 18. Risking his own life.
