Mr. President. again. the policy is very laudable. but the problem is. the dollars are being taken out of other accounts. We are attempting to ramp up the personnel in a lot of Border Patrol activities. to ramp up the number of beds. and to ramp up our efforts in the Coast Guard. This $85 million is not going to come out of thin air and will have to come from one of these accounts or a series of accounts. We have a balanced bill. As much as I appreciate the Senators proposal. this .3 of a percent acrosstheboard cut will have a fairly significant impact on Homeland Security.
