Because of Congress inaction. the administration will be forced to ask for an emergency reprogramming to get the agencies through August. But this reprogramming will also have severe consequencesconsequences that I do not think many of our colleagues seem to understand. Our border security will be reduced. Why? Because CBP will have to cut back on aerial support for Border Patrol agents on the border. When I was in Texas and Arizona last year. I heard frontline agents say again and again that aerial support was the single most important force multiplier that they had available to help them secure the border.
