In spite of all this. we have just seen an example of obstructionism that has slowed down and prevented the Senate from consideration of this bill today. The latest obstruction would delay important investments. This Homeland Security bill does lots of things. We just finished the immigration debate. This is not as good for border security as the immigration bill would have beenI dont expect we will do that debate todaybut it does do some good things. This bill hires 3.000 more Border Patrol agents and provides 4.000 more detention beds. When someone is picked up. they will have a place to put them. This provides $400 million for port security grants.
