Chairman. I rise in support of the MoorheadPackardLowery border guard amendment to H.R. 4300. My district suffers as much from immigration as any other district in the country. The Border Patrol catches almost 500.000 illegal aliens a year in the 12mile San Diego border sector. INS estimates for every one they catch. at least three get away. These illegal aliens travel through my district to Los Angeles and the rest of the country. Apprehensions of illegal aliens have increased 25 percent in the last year. and illegal immigration shows no signs of abating. Mr. Chairman. the city officials and residents of the cities in my district have no answers to the social problems associated with illegal immigration. Local schools and hospitals. county health. housing. local police and law enforcement are overburdened. One city.
