Speaker. I would like to paraphrase the great Frederick Douglass. who reminded us that we may not get all that we have worked for. however. we will work for all that we get. Clearly. we have worked to get more Border Patrol agents. It is important that we do so. At the rate of 33 to 1. 66.000 before we can get 2.000. it will take a considerable amount of time to get the number of agents needed. So we should work and we have worked for more Border Patrol agents. However. the record should also reflect. Mr. Speaker. that we have worked for more Customs and border protection officers. They are the people that inspect people as well as cargo at ports of entry. They are the persons who caught the Millennium Bomber.
