Well. Mr. Speaker. if there was enough money to go down into Mexico. find a drug smuggler. negotiate a backroom deal with this drug smuggler. bring the drug smuggler back. and give them amnesty not just once but twice. if there were enough resources to cut this kind of deal and make this kind of effort to make sure that two Border Patrol agents get convicted. my God. arent there enough resources to use the same effort to go after the drug smugglers? And I really ask that we consider that. I would just like to say that tonight we were able to spend almost an hour discussing an issue that is very near and dear to those who are concerned about the fact that our borders are out of control. that this incident happened in an area where Border Patrol agents had a firefight with smugglers with automatic weapons a few months ago. if you remember. And we wanted to remind the American people how out of control and absurd the situation has become in a lot of ways. We hope. as the Congressional Immigration Caucus. Mr. Speaker. that over the next few months that Wednesday night will be spent as a night where those of us who are concerned about the illegal immigration issue and the outofcontrol border will spend an hour every Wednesday night reporting to the American people of what is going on. on this most critical issue that Democrats and Republicans both care about. If there was ever a situation and ever an issue where partisanship should be put aside and being an American should be first. it is time that we find a way to work together on the immigration issue. I call on you and everyone that has the honor of working in this House of the people to join together to address that. I invite you and every Member of the House to join the Immigration Caucus. so that we can work together for the good of all Americans.
