And then when they are inspected. there is pressure to do it quickly. to move them along. Again let me quote from the GAO. The GAO said. quote. "At the Mexican border crossing. with the heaviest passenger vehicle volume in the country. a supervisory inspector said the staff was inspecting less than onetenth of 1 percent. less than onetenth of 1 percent of the passenger vehicle traffic because the volume is so high." So if they are not even inspecting cars. how are they going to inspect these large trucks? And. again. 12.000 per day enter the United States. Most of the ports visited by the GAO investigators who were doing this report said that the inspection program could not keep up with the increasing demand.
