Todays debate is about national security in our border. There was. in fact. a report issued by the National Defense Panel. and I want to share this with the gentleman from Florida . because I do not believe I have. and I want to quote: "The apparent ease of infiltration of our borders by drug smugglers illustrates a potentially significant problem. It suggests that terrorist cells armed with even nuclear. chemical and biological weapons. could also infiltrate our borders." I have nothing against the Border Patrol. They need 25.000 more of them. When I call over there. if we had 25.000 more Border Patrol. they say we would have to hire anywhere between 6.000 and 9.500 support personnel to accommodate another 25.000. I think it is time to reassess the issue of national security. I am not talking about New York and New Jersey.
