In the Immigration and Naturalization Service. the war on illegal aliens. the war to control the border. the bill provides 32.2 billion. $443 million over last year. $30 million over the Presidents request. and 1.100 new Border Patrol agents. Everyone says we desperately need them. This amendment would reduce the appropriation by $41 million. and take it below what the President requested of the Congress.
