At the present time. the customs officials have the right under certain circumstances to seize vessels and vehicles which are utilized in the illegal transport. for instance. of drugs into this country. Unfortunately. because of the law which has existed until this time. Border Patrol officers do not have the same ability to seize vehicles and vessels which are utilized to bring in human cargo. That is the question of the transportation of illegal aliens into this country. This anomaly of the law has allowed a situation to exist whereby you can go on the border and talk with Border Patrol officers and find that they have found the same car utilized on numerous occasions to bring in illegal aliens. This will make a small change in that law which will allow us. with respect to the INS. to utilize the same law enforcement rmechanisms that we now give to the customs officials in dealing with traffic of things such as narcotics.
