Many great citizens of the State of Texas and of the great country in which we live. they have lived and worked and played. and they have created an economic engine. cities like Brownsville. Laredo. Harlingen. McAllen. and many others. And they have. in fact. experienced over the years an influx of individuals coming to do harm. As a senior member of the Homeland Security Committee and a member who has served as chairwoman and ranking member on a number of subcommittees. we have made great strides. I am reminded of the low number of Border Patrol agents some many years ago. and now we are upwards to 25.000 hardworking Americans who serve on both the northern and southern borders. They have met the challenge of a serious influx. First. the drug cartels.
