President. I would like to make some comments regarding the pending business. H.R. 6061. the act that came to us from the House of Representatives which is titled the Secure Fence Act of 2006. the essence of which would provide the authority for the United States to construct a variety of features across large portions of our border with Mexico to prevent illegal immigration. The point of this legislation is. of course. to follow through with a series of appropriations that we have now provided for to enhance our ability to put National Guard troops at the border. construct more fencing. construct more roads. more vehicle barriers. more sensors. more lights. more cameras. and provide more Border Patrol to patrol this large area of our border. The combination of all of these. personnel and infrastructure and technology enhancements. will enable us to gain effective control of our border. I am pleased that as a result of the appropriations we have passed over the last couple of years. we are now beginning to see our efforts pay off.
