Again, in summary, and again concluding as to the perfecting amendment that I have before this House, I hope that this body understands that there is a reasonable way to address the problems that we face against narcotics trafficking and against those that would perpetrate criminal acts against border residents. I understand. I spent 26/2 years working the area. I understand what my colleague from Illinois is talking about. But I think that we have to respect a process that takes into account the fact that border residents are United States citizens also, and they deserve and should expect the same kinds of protections and the same kinds of rights and privileges that the rest of the country has.
