There are some positive aspects in it. but the spending in it is mighty high. It is my understanding that the gentlelady from Tennessee will be offering an amendment that focuses on one area that I feel needs additional expenditures of money. and that is with our secure border. the need for fencing. the need for technology there that will prevent the flood of Illegals from coming into this country. The focus of this legislation as a primary topic should be keeping illegal aliens out of this country. During the past several weeks. I have had more calls on that topic than any other measure. And I know a number of the calls. letters. emails and faxes were due to the other bodys consideration of something called Comprehensive Immigration Reform. which was certainly a misnomer. It was nothing but amnesty. pure and simple. and the overwhelming majority of communications with my office are in opposition to any type of amnesty. They want a fence erected to keep illegal immigrants out. You know. when we talk about earmarks. in my view there are some good earmarks and there are some bad earmarks. Im sure that I have a perspective of my district.
