The reason that our borders and our fight against drugs does not work is because too often in this House we make it a political issue. I make it a practice to act in the best interest of our border and do not politicize the needs of our border. I am a cosponsor of the bill offered by the gentleman from California . which increases our Border Patrol presence and gives our agents more flexibility while doing their jobs because it is the right thing to do. He is a cosponsor of my bill to separate the enforcement functions of the INS and create a new agency. again because it is the right thing to do. It serves the needs of our communities. not the needs of our political agendas.
