Mr. Speaker. the busiest international border crossing in the world is at San Ysidro. Calif.. across from Tijuana. Mexico. The flow of people through these border gates has increased a hundredfold in recent years. Yet. the total number of U.S. immigration. customs. public health. and agricultural inspectors at the San Ysidro station today is nearly the same as it was in 1945. As a result. there are crushing traffic jams every weekend at this border point when thousands of Americans cross into Mexico to shop. tour. and enjoy the various recreational activities available in Baja California. Even the Governor of Baja California has been caught in these traffic jams on at least two occasions.
