We talk about illegal immigrants coming in from Mexico. It is a lot more serious if illegal weapons are going into Mexico.

I congratulate Chairman Leahy and former Chairman Hatch on their leadership on this very important subject.

It is of critical importance that whatever we do legislatively, we get it right.
