Nothing the American people want. The two pilot programs set up by the INS to test implementation of Section 110. one in Texas and one in upstate New York. were both shut down due to fierce community opposition. Moreover. time and manpower diverted to Section 110s impossible directive will take away from efforts to deal with other problems facing the INS and the Customs serviceproblems like drug interdiction. the fight against terrorism. and the fight against illegal immigration. Drugs. terrorism and illegal immigration are real problems requiring a real investment on our part. We cant afford to undermine these programs to pursue a policy we know is nothing more than a mistake. This legislation would eliminate the mandated automated entryexit system at land and sea ports of entries and replace it with a feasibility study. required within one year of the passage of the bill. to examine whether any system could ever be developed and at an acceptable cost to American taxpayers. employers. employees. and the nation as a whole.
