He has been. along with the ranking member. the gentleman from Kentucky. very sensitive to the issues we have raised. and I know he is very concerned and very aware of what is going on. I want to thank the gentleman for being sensitive and for doing so much to help us on the border. We have heard from other Members from the San Diego area and from other parts of the Nation about the need for more Border Patrol. My own experience. from living at the border for the last 15 or 20 years. indicates that that is true. I am going to vote for this amendment. but let us not kid ourselves. I say to my colleagues from both sides of the aisle. This addition of Border Patrol agents is not going to solve the problems we all have spoken about and have recognized. This will not solve the problem. The problem is deeper.
