We went to one of the largest land ports in the country. I think,
maybe, it is the largest port of the country--Laredo, TX--where some
15,000 trucks enter the United States every day. It is a huge influx of
cargo and, fortunately, businesses all up and down and along the border
have worked with the law enforcement agencies, with Customs and Border
Protection to make sure that we can expedite the flow of legal trade
into the United States. At the same time, we police for the entry of
illegal drugs and for people illegally entering the United States
without proper authority. One reason why my State has done pretty well relative to the rest of
the country in terms of our economy is because of our business-friendly
attitude.
