It is something we should do in the context of national defense. and it should be done as part of the supplemental. The bigger problem we have is that when the Homeland Security bill hits this floor. we are going to have to figure out a way to pay for this. The administration has proposed we increase fees on air transportation. Well. air transportation fees do not necessarily line up with Border Patrol needs. In fact. the Border Patrol needs are not affected by air transportation fees. Air transportation fees fund things such as TSA. So it is unlikely that fee is going to occur.
