This week. the majority is again on the floor having us vote on a bill that has already passed. This "one trick pony" approach to legislating is stale. The majority is out of fresh ideas on how to secure the border. and it shows. Last night. I offered an amendment in Rules that would have provided an allencompassing approach to border security and ensured that every mile of the border is monitored and secured 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. A fence alone wont protect us from those who want to harm us. Even the Department of Homeland Security has come to realize that we need an integrated approach that combines personnel. equipment. technology and infrastructure.
