It will increase the Customs Services capacity to secure our borders against drug smugglers. and it will deny favorable trading status to foreign countries that fail to cooperate in eradicating drug crops at the source. Our border with Mexico represents the most extensive and uncontrollable part of our narcotics law enforcement effort. The drugs that cross that border spread death and destruction throughout the Nation. Ultimately. the influx of narcotics and the unguarded entrance of illegal immigrants pose a threat to our national security. This bill provides for increases in Customs Service personnel and for the acquisition of hightechnology equipment. It updates our customs laws and closes loopholes that allow drug traffickers to smuggle narcotics into the country.
