So with regard to some of the things in the bill that are supposed to make enforcement better and make the system work better. they use this phrasethey say. "subject to the availability of appropriations. " That phrase is used 18 times in the bill. What does that mean? It means we are going to increase our prison beds. increase border patrol. and do all these things which are in our law. and we are going to enforce the law subject to the availability of appropriations. Well. somebody probably wants a bridge in their home State or a highway or a university grant in their home district--more money for this or that. good programs or bad programs. but that is how these things get lost out in the competition for spending. They dont get done.
