The Customs Service has an integrated surveillance and communications network along the whole length of the southern border and coastline of the United States. It has good relations with the Mexican Customs Servicewhich is extremely important for effective enforcement along the border. The Immigration and Naturalization Service has more difficulties with such relations. because of rather obvious ethnic issues of alien Interdiction along the border. In addition. there will be considerable costs involved in transferring personnel once again. and in duplicating the equipment of the Customs Service for the Immigration and Naturalization Service. I personally do not think this move could be justified even If they did come down to us and make the. request in a legal way. But that is not the issue now.
