They use every means that vast resources and ruthless intent puts into their hands to commit their crimes. And they have increasingly sophisticated means to conceal their illegal activities. Short of sealing our borders to all trade and financial transactions. we must depend upon agencies like Customs to secure our borders We must. however. do this while facilitating the flow of people and legitimate trade. It is a daunting task. Recognizing that our borders were under intense pressure from illegal alien smuggling. the Congress increased the resources to the Immigration Service. We almost doubled that agencys capacity. The challenge facing Customs is far greater.
