I hope the death of Trooper Saunders will be met with action and efforts to secure our borders and protect our law enforcement services.
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).
I am concerned that detailing of agents to the southern border will result in more drugs coming across our northern border.
