I have not seen the committee address this. I have made this available to the committee. to the Department of Justice. and so forth. I have not seen anyone who wants to address the fact that the Department of Justice and the Immigration Service are not acting according to the laws passed by this body. If we give more sanctions and more authority. what is going to happen? My colleague. the gentleman from California . has said. "well. what the border patrol needs is more men." Well. do they need more men being in Mexico to send more people up here to trade like cattle? Is the Government doing it? That is what we are talking about. I checked with the Mexican authorities and the Ambassador. and I checked at the Capitol in Mexico City. There was no authority for American immigration agents to be operating inside Mexico. How would the U.S. Government like it if Mexican agents were operating inside the United States smuggling Americans like cattle 1.000 miles into Mexico to trade them?
