We are spending record sums. and we are seeing recordlow levels of apprehensions. We are literally seeing less than zero migration from Mexico now. and we have been for a number of years. When I hear my colleagues about securing the border before we proceed with immigration reform or any other sensible. realistic. logical policy with regard to Mexico. it begs the question when they ask if we secure the border: How much more secure can we get? How many more billions of dollars do you want to spend? How many more miles of walls do you want to construct? How many more thousands of agents do you want to hire? How many fewer apprehensions can we have? How far below zero can our immigration from Mexico reach? The last point on the security issue that I want to stress for my colleagues is this one. Despite the rhetoric. despite the anxiety. despite the fear that is often provoked on cable TV or even in this Chamber. there has never been nor is there now any credible terrorist organization. terrorist threat. or terrorist who is using the southern borderour border with Mexicoto infiltrate the United States.
