We all understand that on a very human level. But the same porous borders that allow workers to come across allow gang members. allow common criminals. narcotraffickers. and. yes. even terrorists to enter our country without our knowing it only to do their mischief at a later time. I believed it was incumbent upon me to come to the Chamber to explain my deep disappointment in this procedural move that was engaged in by the Democratic leader yesterday. which has denied us an opportunity to have a vote on this important amendment. one endorsed by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and one which I believe is absolutely essential to our restoring credibility to our border security efforts by enabling our Border Patrol to use this wellrecognized mechanism of expedited removal and deterrence. I yield the floor. ExHrinT 1
