I also would like to compliment the distinguished chairman of the subcommittee for doing what certainly is a very good job on this issue and focusing attention on it. I am very pleased that he is not opposing the amendment. and I would simply like to make a couple of important points that relate to this issue. This is an immigration reform bill. but it has become more than that with this amendment. This amendment makes it an antiterrorism bill and an antidrug bill. We have got to realize that while the subcommittee and the full committee have authorized and appropriated certainly an increase. we over the past 5 years have seen a doubling of the flow of illegals across the border.
