I think it is sad that so soon after 9/11 there seemed to be so much partisan division. and yet there still was some bipartisan unity. We were able to. for example. increase funding for first responders on homeland security. We were able to pass the PATRIOT Act. We were able to pass the REAL ID Act that revamps the requirements for State identification cards. We passed the Homeland Security Act of 2002. which established the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. And we passed more border security. including physical barriers. more Border Patrol agents. and more stateoftheart technology. We ended the catchandrelease program. Unfortunately. 164 Democrats voted against it.
