Mr. Speaker. I come to the floor today disappointed that we once again are debating a bill that will not be a real solution to our Nations border security and to our immigration problem. This summer the Republican leadership held hearings all around the country under the pretense of learning about what was needed to secure our borders. The various hearings received extensive testimony. but one of the things they told us was that fencing alone is not an adequate solution. The simple fact is that fences are not the silverbullet solution that the Republicans are painting them to be. It will not add more Border Patrol agents. who are the ones that do the real work at securing our border. And it will not add more detention space for people who are apprehended. There are no more DAs. no more judges. it wont process these people.
