I do not think so. Eleven percentthat would be devastating. I heard our Senators from States that border Central America about the inadequacy of the number of Border Patrol members that they have. This would take a big slice out of that so that we could no longer do even the protection of our borders as efficiently as we do now. We would be losing lots of FBI agents. NASA would be hurt. our space program. job training. head Start. the program that gives kids who come from a disadvantaged background a little bit of a head start. So what would it mean in real terms? Here are a few examples based on the administrations estimates: 2.700 FBI agents would be lost. 1.350 Border Patrol agents. 780 drug enforcement agents would be lost. 90.000 fewer dislocated workers would receive training for new jobs. job search assistance. and support services. 34.000 lowincome children would lose child care assistancewhat a devastating thing that would be to lots of familiesover 1.2 million lowincome women. infants and childrenwe call it the WIC Programwould lose nutrition assistance each month. How can we face our conscience? FAA operations would be cut by almost $700 million.
