It has hurt business. trade. and tourism on both sides of the border while increasing tensions between the United States and Mexico. Why must we wait for a crisis to realize the need for more efficient high level communication and cooperation between our two countries? The time has come to establish a high level bilateral interagency commission. chaired by the Secretary of State. on immigration and the border to help resolve problems that have long plagued our two nations and that can react immediately without bureaucratic bungling and heightened tensions. Such a commission can help both countries effectively deal with drug enforcement issues. border disputes. and immigration. It makes more sense to sit down at a table and work out a strategy than to tie up traffic at the border. Drug interdiction and illegal immigration are not only domestic issues but foreign policy issues as well. It is time that both the United States and Mexico realize this. I plan to include this proposal in a comprehensive immigration reform .ill. The present crisis is winding lown. Carbycar searches will now be eplaced by spot checks.
