I have 1 minute of comments to make on the amendment of the Senator from South Carolina. and then I wonder if we can proceed with the possibility of three amendments being disposed of in quick order so that then the Senator from New Hampshire can begin with his amendment. Let me make my comments about the amendment offered by Senator GRAHAM. I support this amendment because it provides a deterrent to future illegal immigration. While there are a great deal of statistics I would like to cite. in the interest of time. let me make this point. There is a very interesting operation going on right now in the Del Rio. TX. sector. in something called Operation Streamline in which they actually have the jail space available to detain. for up to 180 days. illegal immigrants caught coming across the border. This has been in operation now since 2005. Anyone caught entering the United States illegally faces prosecution under this particular operation unless for humanitarian reasons they need to be released.
