Mr. President. I rise in strong opposition to the Alexander amendment. It is a bad idea. The 53. Pt. 15 20931 amendment would take away $300 million from port security. rail security. and all the grant programs that fund the first responders in each of our home States. It would rob the Border Patrol. Customs Enforcement. and the Coast Guard of the resources they need to keep our Nation safe. It would be robbing Peter to pay Paul. The amendment would take $300 million and give it to departments of motor vehicles. Let me say that again. This amendment takes funds off the border. and gives funds to departments of motor vehicles.
