I have a deep and serious concern about the problems our Nation faces as a result of our inability to control our borders. The first duty of a sovereign nation is to control its borders. We do not. One direct result is illegal entry by hundreds of thousands of persons each year. I know the distinguished Senator from Nevada shares this concern. The House Appropriations bill has in it an additional $30 million earmarked primarily for increased immigration enforcement. and I make a request of the Senator from Nevada that. during the conference on the appropriations bills. the Senate recede to the House position in this regard.
