We have done our best in this bill
to make sure that the FBI has the resources it needs to continue to
protect this great Nation. The Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies bill also
provides increases across all other Federal law enforcement agencies,
Mr. Chairman, to enhance their capabilities, to combat illegal
immigration, violent crime, and go after human and opioid traffickers. Unfortunately, Houston, Texas, is a center of human trafficking. And
our legislation makes sure that all Federal agencies have the resources
they need to combat these modern human slavers. We have provided funding for 65 new immigration judge teams to reduce
the 500,000 immigration case backlog; we have got a $22 million
increase in here, Mr. Chairman, for U.S. attorneys, an $88 million
increase for U.S. marshals, a $98 million increase for the DEA, and a
$35 million increase for ATF. We have also provided strong funding for priority State and local law
enforcement programs that protect women and children and help support
our local police officers.
