However. we have made dramatic strides in this area. Now. there has been a disagreement here between ourselves and the administration on this point. In fact. when we brought our first budget forward. which significantly increased the number of border agents by about 1.000actually 1.500 when you coupled the supplemental with the billwe were strongly resisted by the administration because we took money out of other accountsprimarily State and local first responder fundsand moved it over to Border Patrol. We did the same thing to add the detention beds. That was done with the support of the Senate and. in the end. with the support of the House.
