I did not realize that the gentlemans amendment was coming up now. my colleagues. the gentleman from Ohio . but I want to commend him for this. I heard his presentation on the Jim Lehrer news broadcast about a week or two ago. and it was very coherent. I do not believe what I am hearing here. that the same people that have been carrying on the program. whether it is Border Patrol or INS. are being looked to to save us from what has become a war zone on our borders. We are talking about war zones whether it is illegal immigration or. more directly. the drug war that is going on there. And I am telling my colleagues they have not done well for this country under the present circumstances with the present personnel. The time is long passed for us to do this.
