Arizona. checkpoint on the Mexican border. Congressman BRALEY was on that trip. along with Congressman ARCURI. And we asked at every step of the way the Customs and Border protection officials what they need from Congress and what would their wish list be. They said basically if it was Christmas and they could have everything that they wanted in terms of infrastructure. primarily what they need is more loading docks to unload the bales of marijuana that are stacked in front of an 18wheeler behind a load of watermelons. or more bandwidth for more computers so they can get 10 fingerprints processed faster to establish somebodys identity. All of it. northern border. southern border. all ports on both coasts. $500 million a year for 10 years.
