The Justice Department told them that would be illegal. that they could not use those funds. Yet in the face of that and the cutbacks we are already facing. now we are talking about a freeze. Mr. President. the United States does not have control over our borders today. We cannot control the flow of refugees. or illegal immigrants or anyone who chooses to come in for any purpose. How. then. can we afford to cut back INS staff? My good friend. the distinguished chairman of the Budget Committee. Mr. DOMENICI. has argued that if we want to provide adequate funds for law enforcement. the Appropriations Committee can take the $260 million out of other programs.
