It is a problem that we have studied closely for almost 10 years. Based on our extensive oversight activities I can state to this House without reservation that enforcement alone is not the complete solution. Were we to employ border patrol that would stretch shoulder to shoulder along the entire border. we would not be able to stop the illegal flow of aliens. But. we cannot afford to await a total answer to this complex problem before taking some remedial action. In fact. the approach taken in this amendment is the most humane and reasonable shortterm response to this problem.
