Chairman. here in the Capitol we have 1.170 Capitol Police. Unfortunately. along that 2.000mile border between Mexico and the United States. there are a total of 2.849 agents. I believe that it is critically important if we are to not only address the immigration issue but stem the flow of drugs and turn the corner on this tremendous problem and the threat of terrorism that we do bring about this increase. Mr. MOORHEAD has appropriately pointed out the tremendous cost that is now imposed on the county of Los Angeles and throughout the country and I do believe that this is a very good amendment and urge my colleagues to support it.
