We discussed environmental impact on the border. There are mines. smelting mines on either side of the border. there are problems in Mexico. more in Mexico than on our side. with respect to discharges of waters into the area of TiJuana. or down in Texas. that impact upon the quality of the water. We discussed border crossings. that traffic that we on our side would like to have more crossings to facilitate commerce and tourism. I might add that Mexicos reply was thatand I can sympathize with that. that they have monetary problems. not only opening up a border crossing. but the staffing for customs. immigration. public health. agriculture. entails a lot of finances. and not all of that is recouped from charges that you might make for those who cross back and forth. So we discussed that in depth. and particular crossings that we would like to have in my congressional district. and in adjoining districts. My home town of Mission. the city of Pharr. the city of Donna.
