Mr. Speaker. last week The Washington Post reported that our U.S. Border Patrol agents are wearing uniforms manufactured in Mexico. One agent said. "It is embarrassing to be protecting the U.S.-Mexico border and be wearing a uniform made in Mexico." There are plenty of companies all over this country that could make these uniforms. yet some brilliant bureaucrat has decided to give jobs to Mexicans rather than to Americans. I have nothing whatsoever against Mexico. but the first obligation of the U.S. Congress should be to our own people. Not only is this a jobs issue. but there are security implications as well.
