For 12 years I worked to change the budget surplus in an IRS civil tax case, 12 years, and yes, this is 3 years in a row, because a report recently filed said the greatest national security threat facing the American people is not a foreign enemy per se and their missiles, it is the easy access to America by terrorists and drug smugglers, and our borders are wide open. The Traficant amendment does not mandate troops on the border. It says if the administration has an emergency and calls them, which they can, it codifies the conditions by which those troops shall be placed. They must be trained. They can never go out alone. They cannot make arrests. Let me say this, only 3 out of 100 trucks coming across our borders are even inspected, and we are building houses and giving rabies vaccinations in Haiti, guarding borders in the mideast, waging peacekeeping missions all over the world. The number one security threat facing America and the weak link is our border.
