So I thought I would share some of the feelings that the people have along the border. I represent the border in Arizona. from Nogales to San Luis. and I have to say that supervisors. mayors. councilmen and average Americans who live on the border are also concerned about the traffic of drugs into this country. and they commend us for the additional resources we have given. not only in Customs. Border Patrol and other law enforcement. and they would like to see that continued. They are also concerned about the traffic of undocumented people coming into this country. and they applaud this Congress for the additional Border Patrol agents and other resources we have given them. But they are very scared about having military placed on the border in their communities. They understand that the military is not trained for law enforcement. and so they ask. please consider their wishes. please consider their concerns as we fight the entry of illegal drugs with law enforcement.
