For instance. traffic volume at the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit has increased by more than onehalf million in the past decade. The increase at the Detroit/Windsor Tunnel has been greater than 300.000 for that same period. I realize that resources are limited and that a principal goal in authorizing increased funding for inspection and enforcement activities by the Customs Service 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 and we are also under a mandate from the national headquarters to increase enforcement efforts. 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?
