Mr. Speaker. an ominous threat looms over the security of America today. and I stand in this well to ask responsiveness from this body to the situation at our borders. which today still remain unsecured. My home State of Arizona has become a gateway to the Nation for drugs. syndicated crime. and arms and sex trafficking. and they are intrinsically related to illegal immigration. In 2004 in Cochise County. Arizona alone. over 235.000 people were apprehended by the border patrol after they crossed the border illegally. The border patrol estimates that three to four people cross the border undetected for every person that they apprehend. Mr. Speaker.
