The Reyes amendment would limit the White House and the Secretary of Defense if they chose to take a specific course and allow for troops on our border. The tragedy of Esequiel Hernandez cannot be overlooked. FBI agents have been killed in wrongful death shootings. American soldiers have been shot by their own company men. Do we throw out the army? Do we defund the FBI? We are today targeting narcotics. The Traficant amendment is not targeting immigration. Now. we have had that whole sphere constantly brought into this matter. We have painted anyone who takes this stand as having some sinister ethnic bias.
