I cannot support an amendment cobbled together at the 11th hour that doubles the border patrol without knowing how much it will cost or whether it is even the right strategy.
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. Fixing our broken immigration system is an important issue one that will affect millions of individuals and institutions across our country. I cannot support an amendment cobbled together at the eleventh hour that doubles the border patrol without knowing
how much it will cost or whether it is even the right strategy said U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) announcing he will oppose the Sens. John Hoeven (R-ND) and Bob Corker (R-TN) amendment to S.744:
Unfortunately this measure still omits a real trigger or objective measure to see if the proposed strategy is working.
At a time when the trust deficit with the federal government is so huge we do not need more promises from the government - we need measureable results.
The same tired approach of crafting a piece of legislation that does nothing more than throw money at the problem simply wont cut it. I believe a carefully-crafted effort like my RESULTS amendment written based on the needs of law enforcement and requiring measureable results is the right solution to finally securing our border.
Senator Cornyn serves on the Finance and Judiciary Committees. He serves as the top Republican on the Judiciary Committees Immigration Refugees and Border Security subcommittee.
