These vessels will now be better equipped to deal with border incursions and other threats at sea,

Where our Southern Border battles a great deal of illegal immigration, the Northern Border's threats are more often drug, gun, and money smuggling by criminal organizations, ... These unique threats call for trained law-enforcement professionals who are skilled in dealing with organized crime and our border's unique geography.

I do not deal with threats and ultimatums.

Initial reports from the L.T.T.E. indicated one of their vessels were involved in an incident at sea, but they later said they had no involvement.

To the extent that we are all educated and informed, we will be more equipped to deal with the gut issues that tend to divide us.

The border helps define curves.
