I yield myself such time as I may consume. Let me just briefly bring to the attention of my colleagues again the point that we are trying to make. We started out by saying that border security has no divide among Democrats and Republicans. It has no divide among Americans. but there is a right way to do and to enhance border security. In this legislation. are going to offer the old Berlin Wall. again separating the north from the south. separating us from our Canadian neighbors. It is interesting. however. that when we ask for 15.000 more border patrol agents. increased recruitment and training of those agents. adding more equipment to those agents. we get a resounding no. We need to do sensible. comprehensive immigration reform. not one that simply feels good. because the American people need real security. Mr. Chairman.
