Mexico. and the Caribbean will have great difficulties moving between our countries. Most importantly. a hasty implementation without assurances that the technology to be used is truly effective can actually result in a less secure border. Month after month. and despite hearing after hearing. the Department of Homeland Security. one of the least functional Departments in our Government. and the Department of State has highhandedly rushed to impose this new border crossing plan on the America people before they are ready with the necessary technology. infrastructure. and training. and at every step their rosy assurances to the Congress and the American people have been wrong. The administrations record on implementing the new passport program is clear. and it has been abysmal. Hundreds of Vermonters have been calling my office for assistance in salvaging their travel plans.
