A nuclear weapon is a bit smaller than a person. in most cases. You could smuggle one inside a bale of marijuana. Now. we have had a lot of talk on this floor about how to make our borders more secure and deal with the issue of Illegal immigration. To date. our efforts have increased the fee charged by the socalled coyotes to smuggle an Illegal immigrant into the United States up from $1.000 to $1.500. This may have a substantial impact on those people who aspire to work in the United States for minimum wage. But whether the cost of bringing in something the size of a person is $1.000 or $10.000 or $100.000 is not going to matter much to the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps. We are not going to have borders so secure that a truly sophisticated terrorist group or intelligence agency will not be able to bring a bomb across our borders. Keep in mind we have 300 million legal border crossings every year. We have zero patrol officers. zero on the entire border between Alaska and Canada. Between Canada and the lower 48. we have roughly one security official every 30 or 40 miles. and that person is only working 8 hours a day.
