In my opinion. The Inspectors of the INS and Customs carry a badge. a gun. and are exposed to the same rigors. challenges. and dangers of any other law enforcement officer in the United States. Last year alone. there were more than 280 million border crossings. all requiring Inspection and many escalating Into violent conflicts. yet we have not provided our inspectors with the same benefits and security as other law enforcement officers. I know firsthand what these inspectors are asked to deal with on a daily basis. I spent 4 years as an Inspector at the various ports of entry around El Paso. and I can tell my colleagues that I sympathize with these men and women who Put their lives on the line each and every day.
