I want to congratulate both the chairman and the ranking member for the work that both they and their staffs have done. Let me highlight a couple of points that I would like to make about the bill. First. from my area of representing a border area. I am very pleased with the funding that we have in here for immigration enforcement officers and the outright rejection of a border crossing fee. That is an issue that has raised its ugly head in the other body and is continuing to do so. I hope with our action here. and in the Senate appropriations. that we will lay that issue to rest.
