Speech #1050094601

Mr. President. I am proud to be an original cosponsor of The Border Improvement and Immigration Act of 1997. This bill will ensure that Canadians and United States permanent residents are treated fairly and appropriately and that the United States and Canadas long and friendly relationship regarding immigration issues is preserved. We must preserve the integrity of our open border and ensure that no undue hassle. inconvenience. or burden is placed upon those who cross the United StatesCanada border. Vermont and Canada share many traditions. and one that we all value is the free flow of trade and tourism. Ours is the longest open border in the world. and we should do nothing to change or endanger that relationship.
