Mr. Speaker. I would like to remind my colleagues that the Border Patrol has nearly doubled in size over the last five years and that Congress appropnated a record $4 billion for the INS last year alone. While virtually every other federal agency is endunng smaller and smaller budgets. the INS is one of the few that has consistently received increases in funding. Congress is working hard to ensure that the INS has the resources to enforce our immigration laws and protect our border. Yet instead of working to capture and deport illegal aliens wherever they are. the INS comes up with excuse after excuse as to why they cannot do their job. That is absolutely unacceptable Mr. Speaker.
