We cannot seal our borders. Nor should we. We already have devoted an enormous amount of resources to border security. The overall budget for CBP and ICE has nearly doubled in the past 10 years. Hundreds of miles of border fencing has been constructed. We have more than 21.000 border patrol agents. And. the Department has deployed advanced technologies and airborne assets. The most effective border security measure would be approving the comprehensive immigration reforms passed by the Senate last Congress that reduce the number of people trying to come here in the first place. The Senate has a choice. We can set aside politics and act like grownups or we can waste days debating the legislation sent to us by the House. which the President has made clear he will veto.
