As the last gentleman who spoke quite correctly said. it is the right thing to do. It is needed. I cannot for the life of me understand how there would be this much debate in view of the reality of the occurrences of just the last few weeks where. as has been pointed out. the roster of available border patrol and Immigration and Naturalization employees has been taxed quite a bit beyond its legitimate ability to perform. plus the fact that the endemic situation which has existed for many months and years on the Southwest border does not abate any. To go into the collateral ramifications as to the causes and the shortrange and longrange solutions I think is really not germane to this particular discussion. However. I would like to say in connection thereto that in view of some of the things that have been said that this particular service has long been in need of infusion of more personnel and better trained personnel and selected from a wider spectrum of American society. The border patrol specifically. as well as the Immigration and Naturalization Service generally. like the FBI. have long been noted as racist organizations. highly prejudiced. most terrifying and unjust in the enforcement of the laws in the harsh. unprotected years of the 1930s. 1940s. 1950s. 25 years ago. I am a witness to that. As a matter of fact. at this very moment I have received a series of allegations in which the group sending these allegations holds forth that the immigration and border patrol people have been guilty of brutal murders. even involving the death of 6monthold infants. and are even threatening to go to the United Nations Human Rights Commission to ask for an investigation. Now. I do not know the validity of the charges.
Identified stereotypes
The Border Patrol and INS are described as racist organizations.
