Q: SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States must have adequate infrastructure and
policies in place under the Department of Homeland Security to
protect against potential terrorists attempting to enter the
United States along the Southwest Border.
(2) According to top government officials, several Al Qaeda
leaders believe operatives can pay their way into the country
through Mexico and also believe illegal entry is more
advantageous than legal entry for operational security reasons.
(3) Official border patrol records reveal a disturbing
trend on the southern border indicating a growth in other than
Mexicans (OTMs), many from countries of interest, crossing into
the United States--between 2003 and 2004 the increase was at
least 35 percent.
(4) Because of budget constraints, the U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement Office of Detention and Removal does not
have sufficient bed space to detain all illegal immigrants from
special interest countries therefore releasing them on personal
recognizance.
(5) The Department of Homeland Security estimates that up
to 90 percent of these immigrants do not appear for their
immigration hearings.
(6) The Department of Homeland Security needs more
personnel at the borders with the necessary security clearances
and equipment to adequately screen and detain immigrants coming
to the United States.
(7) The Secretary of Homeland Security should provide
appropriate training for inspectors, and associated support
staff, on an ongoing basis to utilize new technologies and to
ensure that the proficiency levels of such personnel are
acceptable to protect the borders of the United States.

SEC. 2. IMPROVEMENT IN SECURITY CLEARANCE PROCESS ALONG THE UNITED
STATES-MEXICO BORDER AND INCREASE IN DETENTION BEDS.

(a) Improvement in Security Clearance Process.--The Secretary of
Homeland Security shall--
(1) expeditiously implement policies ensuring that
personnel of the Department of Homeland Security along the
United States-Mexico border have the security clearances
required to access information necessary to adequately screen
immigrants entering the United States at such border, including
IDENT and IAFIS databases and databases used by the
Department's inspectors in secondary inspections;
(2) develop the interagency agreements and information
technology infrastructure necessary for border agents to
adequately screen immigrants entering the United States at such
border; and
(3) explore information sharing programs with countries of
interest to adequately screen immigrants entering our borders.
(b) Increase in Detention Beds.--Subject to the availability of
appropriations, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall increase by
the amount necessary the number of detention beds needed to detain all
immigrants apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
(c) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the
Office of Detention and Removal Operation should be placed under the
operational control of the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border
Protection, since the largest client of such office is the Border
Patrol.

SEC. 3. STUDY OF PERSONNEL LEVELS.

(a) In General.--The Secretary of Homeland Security shall contract
with an independent entity to undertake a study to determine the
necessary level and allocation of personnel, including support staff,
at United States ports of entry and border patrol sectors.
(b) Items to Be Included.--Such study shall take into account at
least the following:
(1) The overall mission of U.S. Customs and Border
Protection.

Nation's borders and ports of entry

and technologies, and the level of cross-training received by
all staff.

of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to the appropriate
congressional committees, as defined in section 2(2) of the Homeland
Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 101(2)), a report on the study conducted
under this section.

SEC. 4. ONGOING TRAINING OF BORDER SECURITY PERSONNEL.

staff on an ongoing basis to utilize new technologies and to ensure
that the proficiency levels of such personnel are acceptable to protect
the borders of the United States.

SEC. 5. PROMPT AND PROPER ENFORCEMENT.

(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) prosecutors and immigration judges are critical for the
prompt and proper enforcement of our immigration laws, and are
an important part of a comprehensive strategy; and
(2) an insufficient number of prosecutors and immigration
judges currently exists to enforce the immigration laws of the
United States.
(b) Authorization.--There are hereby authorized to be appropriated
amounts necessary to provide for appropriate staff increases for
judicial and prosecutorial offices, commensurate with other personnel
increases directed in this Act.

the appropriate congressional committees (as defined in section 2(2) of

detention and removal operations, detailing the amount of additional
detention space and resources required to detain all persons presenting
a possible threat to homeland security.
(b) Information to Be Included.--The report shall include
