If the gentleman will yield. I was in your fine city and had an opportunity to go down to visit some of the Border Patrol agents that I talk with and work with. One of them showed me a station across from the Border Patrol station on the U.S. side. and he said that in that station. they had actually filmed work on a tunnel. it was actually on Mexico property. that one of the cartels was building. digging a tunnel. and they turned over. he said. to the Mexican government. and the Mexican equivalent of the FBI arrested two Border Patrol agents. customs agents on the Mexican side who were involved with the cartels in actually supervising the digging of that tunnel. The point I am making is that there Is a degree of corruption here in some of the institutions in Mexico which have unfortunately led to a lack of cooperation In enforcement of our borders. And because of that lack of cooperation. I think it is doubly important that not only we go forward with the effort to fill these tunnels. but lets again get the fence that the Border Patrol says it needs built.
