I truly believe that America is a great Nation of diversity. but if we have laws. we must enforce them. If we have millions crossing our borders illegally. we must act or our laws are a sham. I believe the American Government owes a solution for this problem to the people of California and the other States that bear the burden of illegal immigration. Mr. President. this burden falls on about six States. In this time of dwindling resources. I know we must be creative when we come up with new ideas to help fund the Border Patrol. That is why I have suggested to Attorney General Janet Reno that we consider using the National Guard under civilian control to supplement our Border Patrol. Let me repeat that: The National Guard. under civilian control. not under military control. is welltrained and wellequipped to supplement our Border Patrol. The National Guard has come to the aid of many Americans during times of need. The Guard has assisted during earthquakes. forest fires. school integration. and floods.
