Mr. Chairman. in the Third District of Georgia. illegal immigration and drug trafficking are major concerns. I congratulate my colleague from Ohio for offering his amendment. which helps to address both of these difficult challenges. I strongly support the amendment. which will allow our military forces to participate in the most basic national defense function there is. that of the defense of our own borders. General Charles Wilhelm of the U.S. Southern Command recently referred to the international drug trade as the greatest chemical weapons threat to our national security. Congress should act today to allow the U.S. military to pursue its mission to protect our national security.
