Chairman. I rise in strong support of the Moorhead amendment. It is one of the most important amendments in the immigration reform package. We must regain control of our borders. The Border Patrol agents we currently have are doing all they can to apprehend the thousands of illegal immigrants streaming into our country. but quite honestly. they are being overwhelmed. The Moorhead amendment. if adopted. would allow the Border Patrol force to be substantially increased in size. This is vital. if we are going to actually slow. and hopefully stop. the influx of illegal immigrants into the United States. I urge my colleagues to vote yes with me and adopt the Moorhead amendment.
