That is what we have before us today. We have here a bill dealing with Homeland Security. We all know border security is important. and we know the underlying bill is $2.3 billion more than the President requested. most of that money going directly to border security3.000 new detention beds. 3.000 new Border Patrol agents. It is a good bill. But my friends who want to not have this bill have now done what would seem almost impossible: They want to relegislate immigration. We have spent about a month on immigration this year. about a month last year. far more than any other issue. Now we have pending before us an amendment. the Graham amendment. that in effect relegislates immigration. Of course. there is a piece in there for border security. We all support that. But there are also pieces in that that take away basic rights people have. people who are American citizens.
