Mr. Chairman. as a member of the Committee on National Security. I oppose the amendment by the gentleman from Ohio . An increase of U.S. troops on the border with Mexico is a dangerous proposal that will put the border residents in danger. Our military is the worlds best trained fighting forces. and they are not the police officers. and they are not the border patrol agents. They are trained to fight. and we put our own citizens in danger. I would like to remind my colleagues. exactly 1 year ago an 18yearold high school student. American citizen. was shot to death by the Marine on patrol in west Texas.
