Chairman. I want to acknowledge the fact that we could be doing more on this bill. Clearly. we want our Border Patrol agents to be well equipped and well uniformed. That is the missing part of this bill. The uniform "Made in the USA" is a good statement to make. but you cannot have Border Patrol agents without power boats. helicopters. night goggles. computers. and you cannot have them without recruitment. scholarship. and increased numbers to secure the border. That is what we should be doing with the underlying bill. but I do support the amendment and just wish we could do more.
