George R. Nethercutt, Jr.: “This Congress has made great strides to provide more resources for law enforcement departments, but we should do more.”

The loss of 6 agents will have an impact not just in border monitoring, but in criminal detention.

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.

Unfortunately, the Clinton Administration has not advocated for more resources and personnel for this department.
