But an authorization is merely an authorization. Those agents do not get hired. they will not be paid. the VISIT system will not be in place. the fences will not be built until money is appropriated. This is the bill we would expect that appropriation to take place. That is the problem we have. The bill does provide some additional expenditures for Homeland Security and for border enforcement and for other things. For that we are grateful. But the big matters that go to the heart of whether we are going to have a lawful system have not been funded adequately.
