They are essential tools. They are a capital investment. they are a onetime investment. and. yes. we have to patrol. and. yes. we have to maintain them. but we get a great return on that capital investment. That means it doesnt take as many Border Patrol officers to secure this border. It means that they can be deployed to places where they can be more effective. It means that the 4 million people that are coming across our border and the $65 billion worth of drugs will have to find a way to try to sneak through a port of entry. which many will try to do. and we can beef those up and put more resources there. or they will go around the ocean and get out there where the Coast Guard can do their job. Mr. Speaker. and the Coast Guard has interdiction abilities that supersede those. or I will say they are superior to the Border Patrol. So. I am ready to force all traffic through the ports of entry.
