It appears that our procedures for checking out vehicles both leaving and entering the United States are being looked at by criminals and it has been reported that these "dry runs" are being conducted near Glacier National Park. All of these activities are made easy due to the wide open space and insufficient numbers of law enforcement along the border. Yet the bill that has been before us has many provisions which are stacked against the security of the northern border. For example. one provision in this bill provides border States with additional Immigration and Customs Enforcement field agents to help with necessary background checks. However. it stipulates that these allocations are not available to States with populations under two million. This makes northern border States Montana.
