He is a busy man. but I did expect him to have an open mind. And we walked out of that room after the President said that. without listening to a single argument. he would veto any money we added for homeland security. and that has been the case ever since. Each year. whatever strengthening we have had on the border. of ports has come at the insistence of the Congress of the United States. overcoming the objections of the President and we have tried on both sides of the aisle from time to time. we have tried to add more money than the President asked for for border security and for port security. This is just the latest chapter in the efforts of some Members of Congress to almost get a double hernia trying to do enough heavy lifting In order to get sufficient money into this budget so we do have a secure border on the south and a secure border on the north. and we still are a long way from being there. So while I will vote for this bill.
