On the recordOctober 15, 2002
If the gentleman is going to risk police officers' lives in the gentleman's State based on a vote in the committee, then that, my friend, is a choice that the gentleman has who, as a Member, has as much right to cast that opinion as anybody else. I wish the gentleman good luck, frankly, because police officers' lives are at stake. ... All I stand here in the well of the House today to do is to work in every way that I can with the chairman of my committee and the chairman of the subcommittee to see that we can repair this so that we can get a bill out to protect the lives of all of our law enforcement people at the border.
