It is high time for Congress to set its own priorities. The administration and some Members have shown great willingness to sacrifice American service members around the world to protect the borders of other nations. Today. we must act to protect our own borders. our own hometowns. and our own children and grandchildren from the hardships and suffering caused by illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Members have a clear choice to make today. We can support the amendment of the gentleman from Ohio and represent the interests of our constituents by addressing the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs across our southern border. or we can choose to represent the interests of illegal aliens and drug smugglers by supporting and maintaining the current failed policies. If you believe there Is not an illegal immigration problem. you should support the Reyes substitute. If you believe the drugs are not flowing from the nations of the Andean Ridge to the streets and schools of your hometown. you should support the Reyes substitute. If. however. you know. as I do. that illegal immigration and drug trade are destroying the fabric of our communities. you should oppose the Reyes substitute and stand in strong support of the Traficant amendment. I urge my colleagues to support the amendment of the gentleman from Ohio and to provide the INS and the Customs Service the assistance they need to defend our American borders.
