I thank my friends. Mr. President. I wish to engage in a brief colloquy with the chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration relative to the need for more INS inspectors at Michigan ports on the northern border. S. 1200 includes appropriations for increased border patrol and other inspection and enforcement activities of the INS. While I am all too familiar with the serious demands and needs of the southern border. I am concerned about the shortage of inspection personnel at the northern border as well. The Port of Detroit is the largest port of entry along the northern border. Complaints to my office are constant from both the traveling public and the business community about the long lines and intolerable wait at the DetroitWindsor Tunnel. the Ambassador Bridge. and the Blue Water Bridge between Port Huron and Sarnia.
