Speech #1090144664

I oppose this amendment and would point out that this is not an amendment that simply cuts money out of the bureaucracy. It is not a bureaucratic cut. The cuts proposed by the amendment are irresponsible in todays atmosphere where Immigration and terrorism threats to the government and U.S. citizens are real. Cutting the Federal buildings fund by $261 million would leave the fund without the resources it needs to build critical. secure crossings on our southern border with Mexico and strengthen the Federal buildings against the threat of terrorism. Let me repeat that. Vote for this amendment and you are voting against building border crossings on the U.S.Mexico border and against funding to secure Federal buildings against terrorism. The amendment would completely eliminate GSAs new construction of six border stations at the crossings in McAllen. Texas.
