Political Quotes

“I rise to offer the King-Shadegg- Souder amendment. It is an amendment that transfers $2 million for the Shadow Wolves. They are a unique organization that takes the funding from Customs and Border Patrol and shifts it over to ICE, and the intention is to transfer Shadow Wolves over to ICE, that $2 million. That would take care of the salaries and expenses and the appropriations accordingly. The intent is to make sure that this specialized unit called the Shadow Wolves, who have shown so much efficiency with their border patrol and their drug interdiction and the unique skills that they have, can be protected and enhanced and encouraged and their unique culture can be expanded. They now work within the Tohono O'odham Reservation in southern Arizona. They control 76 miles of that border which is 2.8 million acres. Their record has been astonishing, Mr. Chairman, and I have been down there to review their work and gotten to know some of them. We tried to work out a solution here by which they can be encouraged and enhanced. One of the people who has a great voice for Native Americans all across this country is the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Cole) to whom I would be happy to yield.”
