I am pleased that the gentleman from the State of Washington is concerned about the expanding Federal bureaucracy. and I look forward to working with him to make sure that our Federal Government does not grow at fast of a pace because when it does it makes us less competitive. but the issue here is whether we should divert money to the issue that the gentleman would like to have it diverted to. $260 million is a lot of money. There has been a lot of preparation in the allocation of the money that has come to the subcommittee and to the full Committee of Appropriations. Difficult decisions were made. but more importantly. this money that would be taken from the GSA is to address a very important. vital need in our society today. and that is the immigration challenge that we are facing today. Many of you have received bricks in your office from constituents. Those bricks represent the necessity of building a stronger border along the southern part of this country.
