Syria. to Moscow. to Havana and then to Guatemala and then up through the southern border. our southern border with Mexico. into the United States. Thank goodness this individual did not appear to be committed to a life of terrorism. but It demonstrates the kind of vulnerability we have in this country. and it is important we do everything possible to protect it. I am pleased with the majority leaders agreement to now allow us to include the use of these funds for interior enforcement because we know 45 percent of the illegal immigration in this country occurs not from people who violate the border but people who enter legally. then overstay and then go underground. So I am grateful to the majority leader and am pleased to support this amendment. I yield the floor.
