United States are at significant risk of physical in-
jury, abuse, and death. 
(5) Notwithstanding that alien smuggling poses 
a risk to the United States as a whole, uniform 
guidelines for the prosecution of smuggling offenses 
are not employed by the various United States attor-
neys. Understanding that border-area United States 
attorneys face an overwhelming workload, a lack of 
sufficient prosecutions by certain United States at-
torneys has encouraged additional smuggling, and 
demoralized Border Patrol officers charged with en-
forcing our anti-smuggling laws. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the 
Congress that the Attorney General should adopt, not 
later than 3 months after the date of the enactment of 
this Act, uniform guidelines for the prosecution of smug-
gling offenses to be followed by each United States attor-
ney in the United States. 
(c) ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL.—In each of the fiscal 
years 2008 through 2013, the Attorney General shall, sub-
ject to the availability of appropriations, increase by not 
less than 20 the number of attorneys in the offices of 
United States attorneys employed to prosecute cases 
under section 274 of the Immigration and Nationality Act 
(8 U.S.C. 1324), as compared to the previous fiscal year.
