It did nothing to control our border. It was the same kind of gobbledygook we have been dealing with for quite some time from the White House. And we have said consistently. as Republicans in this House. most of us. if the President will secure the border. we will pass an immigration bill that takes care of everything else. It is pretty basic: secure the border. then we will deal with the people that are here illegally. Until the border is secured. then you are going to keep having people like Juan Francisco LopezSanchez coming back across. So it wont matter how expansive a bill is and how much situational awareness there is on our borders or in our country. it wont matter because people like Mr. LopezSanchez will keep coming back. We have got to have border security. That is all there is to it. Once the border is secure. we can work everything else out. And I pointed out many times what I have learned on the border. what I have heard repeatedly from our immigration officers. our border patrolmen. that they are not allowed to properly secure the border. We had this massive influx of people coming in. and apparently it is expected to grow some more again this year. but we are not securing the border. We let them come in. And once they are on our side of the border. then we go ahead and ship them off. This had been going on for some time. One of the border patrolmen told me that. among the drug cartels and the gangs in Mexico. the Homeland Security Department is called "logistics." after the commercial. I forget if it is FedEx or UPS. one of them that say: Hey. we are the logistics. You give us your package. and then we get it wherever you want it to go.
