States could also be reimbursed for projects that have begun any time since 1994. when NAFTA was implemented. This means that California would not be penalized for putting its State money up early to prepare for NAFTA with projects such. as the new inspection station at Otay Mesa. We also allow provide up to $10 million. if needed. for the Attorney General to use to provide transportation improvements for the Border Patrol and other law enforcement agencies. I believe that we should do more at the border to deter drug smuggling and illegal immigration. My bill will provide important help in funding access roads. lighting. and other transportation improvements needed by our Federal law enforcement agencies. The second part of our bill would authorize Federal loan guarantees to assist the States in financing major construction of highcost. revenueproducing projects. such as toll roads.
