Mr. Chairman. 52 percent of all of our monies right now are being used in domestic police protection along the borders. We are going to add to that another 1.000 border patrol a year for the next 10 years. 10.000 more. Yes. we can have the ancillary services of the armed forces to assist that effort. But should we now take from all of the other efforts we need throughout the world. from our counterterrorism efforts that only have to increase because we are all the more susceptible. should we now take those troops and put them in lethal positions on the borders of the United States?
