I oppose the amendment offered by the gentleman that would allow the troops to go in there and I support the amendment. the substitute that is being submitted by the gentleman from Texas . An increase of U.S. troops on the border with Mexico is a dangerous proposal that would put border residents in danger and reduce military readiness. I would repeat that again. It is going to reduce military readiness. Our military is the worlds best trained fighting force. They are not police officers. They are not Border Patrol agents. They are trained to fight. We put our own citizens at risk by deploying them on American soil.
