Local chambers of commerce along the border estimate that the costs of the administrations plans will amount to hundreds of billions of dollars and. I might say. the loss of thousands upon thousands of American jobs. I have heard from many Vermonters about problems they have encountered at U.S. border crossings. from long traffic backups to invasive searches and questions. to inadequate communications from Federal authorities about new facilities and procedures. Such a topdown approach does not work well in interwoven communities along the border where people cross daily from one side to the other for jobs. shopping. and cultural events. I live an hours drive from the Canadian border.
