The increase at the Detroit/Windsor Tunnel has been greater than 300.000 for that same period. Unfortunately. fulltime inspection positions have been reduced by more than 33 percent during the past 10 years. I realize that resources are limited and that a principal goal in authorizing increased funding for inspection and enforcement activities by the INS is the problem of illegal immigration at the southern border. I hope that the northern border will not be ignored because our needs are so great. Can the chairman give me some assurance that the ports of entry on the northern border and specifically. the Port of Detroit and the Port of Port Huron. will receive some increase in the number of inspection personnel under this legislation?
