Mr. Speaker. on the lawless southern border. Border Patrol agents are routinely assaulted by illegals. They are shot at. They are run down by smugglers in trucks. Officers who daily risk their lives protecting America are not always protected by America. As a border agents wife writes me: "In Texas. agents are regularly assaulted. and no prosecution is sought. They are told their injuries are not severe enough to deem Federal prosecution. My husband and his partner were both shot while on duty. The criminal who shot them was never tried on Federal charges. Instead. he was tried by the State of Texas.
