I urge all Members to support this motion and support this important provision. I would like to share with Members some compelling reasons to support the Traficant amendment. The Traficant amendment authorizes the Secretary of Defenseat the expressed request of the Attorney General and/or the Secretary of the Treasuryto redeploy up to 10.000 U.S. troops to assist the Border Patrol. the INS. or the Customs Service in preventing illegal aliens. drug traffickers. terrorists. and narcotics from entering the United States. The Traficant amendment merely gives the Pentagon the authority to transfer troopsit does not require them to do anything. The transfer of troops could only be made if the Attorney General or Treasury Secretary requests such assistance.
