"HOSTETTLER: No, Lou. We in the House of Representatives do not short-change our constituents. And that's why, in the 9/11 recommendations bill that Speaker Hastert introduced in the House to deal with the 9/11 Commission report findings, we expanded the bill to include increasing the number of interior enforcement agents in the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency of the Department of Homeland Security. And we tripled it over a number of five years.
It is our hope -- it is my deep hope that when that bill is considered in conference, that we will be serious about enforcing our laws and keep the House provision in place that will triple the number of interior enforcement agents so we don't have one for every 5,000 absconders, but that we have a significant number more of agents who are tasked with these very important enforcement issues.
