Mexico. We are spending $1.5 billion per week in Iraq. but the Republican leadership will not even commit to funding to secure our Nations borders. Democrats do not want to pass the buck on State and local governments to enforce immigration laws simply while the Republicanled Congress and administration fail to properly fund border security officers. States and localities are already robbing Peter to pay Paul by using a huge amount of their homeland security grant funding to secure the border. purchase communications equipment. and fortify bridges. ports and buildings. Democrats do not want to stay the course on President Bush and the Republicans failed border enforcement. Madam Speaker. we need a comprehensive border security and immigration plan. not a piecemeal plan.
