Its implementation would create widespread chaos and lead to untold congestion at our Northern borders checkpoints. potentially creating havoc with our largest trading partner. Canada. Each year. more than eight million trucks cross the eastern United StatesCanada border carrying a variety of goods to market. In addition. the Eastern Border Transportation Coalition estimates that over 57 million cars cross that border each year. Sixty percent of these are day trips--people crossing the border to go to work or school. attend cultural events or to shop. The remaining forty percent of auto border crossings were by vacationers. If implemented. an automated entryexit system along the northern horde would hamper both trade and tourisri. This is not inconsequential.
