Then the bill went to the full committee. and the full committee even upped the ante. The full committee added additional things. This is what the full committee did. "Bill Made Tougher in Committee." Increased penalties for visa overstayers. Let me stop with that for a minute because that is a problem. My friend from Wyoming has identified this as a problem. These are people who overstay. They are people who come here legallythey are not legal immigrants. but they are people who come here legally. They are students. For any number of reasons they are here. but then they stay. That is a problem. This provision put in by the full committee deals with thatincreased penalties for visa overstayerm. Next: More investigators for visa overstayers. Next: Eliminate additional judicial review of deportations. No bail for criminal aliens. Threetier fence along the border. Next: Expand detention facilities by 9.000 beds. And finally: Increase Border Patrol by 1.000 agents. All of those provisions are in this bill. So it is a bill that is a strong bill. and no one. no one should be ashamed of voting for this bill.
