“government waste, fraud, and abuse have taken every shape and form one can imagine, and now it is even affecting our lax immigration policies. The U.S. Government recently spent close to $240 million to help our border patrol with the latest technology. The problem is the equipment does not work. That is right, $240 million and the government is left with a bunch of useless equipment. Sounds like we ought to get a refund. The border patrol needs all the help it can get, and for the last few weeks, hundreds of concerned citizens formed the largest Neighborhood Watch in Arizona, the Minuteman Project. Their goal is to help spot illegal aliens crossing the border from Mexico. Ordinary people watching the border and easily spotting aliens illegally crossing should outrage every single Member of Congress. How can we claim to be for national security, for the rule of law, when such incredible violation takes place in front of our very own eyes? Madam Speaker, America is a very generous Nation, but we are allowing our laws to be broken and our borders to be violated without consequence. It is long past time we secure our borders, reevaluate our immigration laws, and get serious about national security. ____________________”
