My constituents dont understand why this Congress can find such huge sums to build a fence that could destroy the border economy and take away their lobs. yet we cant find $100 million to fix their levees and save millions of lives or a few million dollars to build them the veterans hospital for which they have been begging for years. Frankly. I dont have a good answer for them. We have the technology to create a virtual fence. The money saved by not constructing a physical fence could be used to hire more Border Patrol agents and law enforcement personnel who are still going to be needed even if we build a physical fence. At the very least. my communities. who are going to have to live with the consequences of this fence. should be able to have their concerns heard and taken seriously before a fence is constructed. I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment.
