They are just trying to kill the Traficant amendment. We know that. The Traficant amendment says they must be trained. they must be requested by the Attorney General. the Secretary of the Treasury. and the President. let us face it. specifically trained. They can never go out on a patrol by themselves. And yes. they cannot make the arrest. That is the protection constitutionally. the posse comitatus law. They can tackle that guy. they can return fire. Narco terrorists have been shooting across the border at our people for quite a while. We have border patrol agents in hospitals being shot by narco terrorists. Mr. Chairman.
