This Congress has made great strides to provide more resources for law enforcement departments, but we should do more.

I hope the death of Trooper Saunders will be met with action and efforts to secure our borders and protect our law enforcement services.

I am concerned that detailing of agents to the southern border will result in more drugs coming across our northern border.
The loss of 6 agents will have an impact not just in border monitoring, but in criminal detention.
Unfortunately, the Clinton Administration has not advocated for more resources and personnel for this department.
I support the approach offered by Chairman Harold Rogers to reorganize the INS into two different agencies within the Department of Justice: immigration services and immigration enforcement (or border patrol).
It is clear that this case shows how bureaucratic mistakes aren't just bureaucratic when crimes are committed and lives are lost.
