Mr. Speaker. the gentleman from California should be commended for this piece of legislation. I have stood at that border crossing in San Ysidro. and the smog is awful there. It just does not make sense that U.S. citizens. who have to spend a lot of their money making sure of the air quality coming out of their cars. should be seeing the cars that are registered south of the border coming across that border crossing and spewing a whole bunch of smog into the environment. It is just not fair. This legislation takes care of that and makes it so that those cars that are not attaining the air quality standards of this country cannot come into the country.
