There is a bridge above the passage on the American border. and there are agents in each row of the cars as they come through. There are detectors for radiation. for illegal drugs. there are dogs. and arrests are made every day. The reason those cars flow and the reason It is respected is because on both sides of San Diego. there are two parallel walls with cameras. border security agents. and the only way to come into the United States is the lawful way. So if you picture for a second the highdensity population areas of the southwestern United States with borders with Mexico. such as Yuma and San Luis. you can have the same type of thing there that happens in San Diegoa free passage that is legal. defensible. safe. and secure. Border Patrol agents can actually concentrate on the area of passage rather than trying to be every place at once on a border that is wide open and has no deterrent. We have serious problems in enforcement. Our States are reacting to problems of illegal immigration. Our businesses are reacting to the problems of illegal immigration. Yet we have given them no relief. We cant validate our documents for businesses that hire people or tell them whether they are legal.
