We say there are not any earmarks in here. Now why are you voting against it? Politics. We have got to get past this. especially on an issue so critical as this. Now. we added $27 million for 250 additional Customs and Border Patrol Agents for commercial operations and validations of commercial vehicles. verifying that trusted shippers have placed necessary security measures mandated in the SAFE Port Act. I mean. I dont understand.
