They were at the national press club and made a presentation. These are senior retired officials who had many decades of experience in enforcing our laws at the border. They uniformly condemn this legislation. as do the Border Patrol Agents Association. They condemn it roundly. Hugh Brien. himself an immigrant. became chief of the Border Patrol from 1986 to 1989. I started making notes on CSPAN the night before last. I just happened to turn it on. He said this bill is a "sell out. a complete betrayal of the nation. a slap in the face to millions coming here legally." He referred to the people in 1986 who passed the 1986 act and promised it would do things as our masters and our mandarins. who said the bill was going to work and it never worked. He said: Based on my experience. its a disaster. Kurt Lundgren. national chairmian of the Association of Former Border Patrol Agents said this: There are no meaningful criminal or terrorist checks in the bill. He said: Screening will not happen. He said: Congress is lying about it.
