Mr. Chairman. I would like to engage a fourway colloquy with the chairman and two colleagues from adjacent districts. the gentleman from Iowa and the gentleman from Nebraska . regarding problems with the smuggling of illegal aliens in Nebraska and Iowa. Mr. Chairman. Nebraska and Iowa are major destinations for illegal aliens and alien smugglers due to extremely low unemployment rates. the number of meatpacking plants. and other laborintensive industries. and due to the fact that two major interstate highways which cross the States. 180 and 129. are serving as what seems to be considered a lowrisk corridor for smuggling aliens to other parts of our Nation. The Omaha INS office. which serves both States. could not respond to approximately 55 possible instances of alien smuggling. including 382 suspected illegal aliens in Nebraska and Iowa. because the INS did not allocate additional resources to respond.
