There may not be anyone in this Chamber who does not agree with the principle of the rule of law and that we ought to secure and control our borders. If we believe that. we ought to do it. I am growing increasingly to think that Senator ISAKSON is right as he suggests that the first thing we ought to do in this immigration debate is secure our borders. perhaps allow the President to certify they are secured. and then begin to deal with temporary workers and other issues that come up. In any event. we want to secure or borders. That is why the Gregg amendment is so important. Senator GREGG has proposed we provide $1.9 billion in emergency funding as a critical investment in border security in this supplemental appropriations bill which is now before the Senate. This is an integral component of the war on terror. Key critical capital improvements that are part of this bill include: No. 1. stemming the tide of illegal aliens entering the country. No. 2. ensuring that terrorists and weapons of mass destruction are not capable of slipping through our arguably porous borders. No. 3. decreasing the illegal drug flow.
