Mr. Chairman. this is the dilemma that not only I. but all of us who represent the border zone all along the MexicanUnited States border face. The immigration people up here in Washington have not given us the necessary personnel. They have been. on many occasions. requested by the local district people. but these people up here say. "We Just dont have it." Now. this is the time and the place to do it. otherwise. we will continue to be operating at below what is needed to keep those bridges and ports open. We have spent millions upon millions of dollars in creating these ports of entry in order to accommodate the number of crossings between our two countries and if we cannot service them. that money Is going to waste and we Just cannot be expected to stop the traffic.
