I am a supporter of the feeforservice concept and I believe that if a particular class of citizens is receiving an individualized service from the government. it should help pay for it. However. there appears to be no discernible increase in INS inspection activities for the recreational borders along the border with the 168. Additionally. if INS is willing to forego the facetoface inspection requirement for a $16 annual fee. it appears it does not consider recreational boaters as a major conduit for illegal aliens. but rather as a source for additional revenue. The 168 permit has caused an adverse economic impact in my district. and I would suggest all of the districts along the Great Lakes border. This has translated in my district to 6.000 less boat trips and an economic loss of about $2 million for each of the countries involved in the destination spending.
