This will modernize our patrol capabilities and enable us to reach hundreds of miles of previously unguarded border. It is time to get serious. smart and practical by using the best proven resources out there. I have also sponsored a provision included in this legislation directing the Department of Homeland Security and State Department to work with Canadian officials and State and local first responders to identify border security challengesincluding interoperable communicationsin preparation for the 2010 Olympics. Lastly. I was proud to join Senator FEINSTEIN to secure a provision criminalizing the construction of smuggling tunnels under our borders and putting into law stiff penalties for anyone building or using such tunnels.
