The bill provides more than $7.1 billion in funding for the Drug Enforcement Administration in order to renew a countemarcotics attack. and an additional $75 million for the DEA to target source countries and restore the successful International drug efforts to 1992 levels. H.R. 3814 also places a priority on protecting our borders. As you know. it adds 1.100 new border control agents and 2.700 more detention cells to ensure the deportation of illegal aliens residing in the United States. I am concerned. however. about the significant increase in Federal money that goes toward fighting crime. I simply believe that it is bad policy in light of the Federal Governments limited role in fighting crime and our very serious debt crisis.
