I was pleased to see also a Dear Colleague letter sent by my
Democratic counterparts on the Homeland Security Committee urging the
passage of this bill. This only further underscores the bipartisan
nature of this effort. It is also supported, Mr. Speaker, by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce,
the Border Trade Alliance, the CBP officers' union, and the Fraternal
Order of Police, among others. The issue is very clear. Not passing this bill will continue to keep
American families at risk from dangers of human traffickers, drug
smugglers, and international terrorists. Right now, we simply don't
have an adequate number of Border Patrol agents and CBP officers to
safeguard our Nation's border. We need to fix that. That is what this
legislation does.
