On the recordApril 20, 1994
Mr. Chairman, one of the best investments we can make in law enforcement today is guarding our borders, whether it is the Coast Guard, whether it is the Border Patrol, whether it is the Immigration Service, whatever it is. Please, this is possibly one of the most important investments we can make. Drugs are coming over our borders. Mexico is becoming the route of choice now that our interdiction efforts are working in the Caribbean. Let us keep our guard up. Let us fund our military in the Caribbean. Let us fund our Coast Guard, and by this amendment, let us be sure that we have adequate Border Patrol in place.
