“We had an opportunity for the last 2 fiscal years to put $2 billion to support CBP, including ICE, and that was a 15 percent increase. We had an opportunity to vote on it, and there were folks that did not support these particular moneys for Homeland. I have full faith in the men and women that work for DHS, they are capable of carrying out their Federal law enforcement responsibilities and of carrying out their statutory authorities. This amendment is not needed. I support ICE and they will carry out the work that needs to be done so they can enforce immigration law. Madam Chair, I ask my colleagues to vote ``no,'' and I yield back the balance of my time.”
