Mr. President. 70 percent of the problem is right there on that very identifiable border. These provisions would increase the penalties for crimes of violence and other crimes committed at our borders and enable the INS to hire thousandsyes. thousandsof new Border Patrol agents.

For example. our amendment increases the resources available to DEA and the FBI.
