I commend the chairman and the leadership for their continued astute work on this most important matter. On December 16 of last year. the House responsibly debated and passed H.R. 4437. Part of that bill was an amendment that I authored that is now incorporated into section 2 of this bill. It is the accountability portion. It is the oversight portion. And accountability is truly the key. We are in this position today because of benign neglect from Washington. In 1986. another bill was passed that promised border security. That was not done. and the American people lost trust in Washington on this issue. In order to restore that trust. we must first gain operational control.
