Excerpt from Charging a Fee to Enter the United States at a Land Border Port: Hearing Before the Information, Justice, Transportation, and Agricultural Subcommittee of the Committee on Government Operations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, August 3, 1993 The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 9 a.m., in room 2247, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Gary A. Condit (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Representatives Gary A. Condit, Karen L. Thurman, Craig Thomas, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, and Stephen Horn. Also present: Representative Rob Portman. Staff present: Shannon Lahey and Audrey A. Bashkin, professional staff members; Aurora Ogg, clerk; and Kristine Simmons, minority professional staff, Committee on Government Operations. Opening Statement of Chairman Condit Mr. Condit. Good morning. Our first witness will be here in a few minutes. We will go ahead and make our opening statements. The Federal Government has some basic and fundamental responsibilities in which States and local jurisdictions have no role. One of these responsibilities is securing our Nation´s borders. There are currently an estimated 3.3 million undocumented residents in the United States of which 1.3 million reside in California. An estimated 3,000 individuals illegally cross the border between Tijuana and San Diego every day. Their presence in the State is a direct result of the failure of the Immigration and Naturalization Service to secure our borders. This is the fourth in a series of hearings that this subcommittee has held on immigration issues. These hearings have demonstrated that the Border Patrol has not been adequately funded since passage of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. It has lacked the resources necessary to do its job. Recently, the House passed an amendment that would increase funding of the INS by $60 million. President Clinton supports this increase. This 1-year increase in funding is a short-term fix to a sustained and growing problem at our borders. In previous subcommittee hearings, the idea of raising revenue to reimburse State and local governments for immigration costs has been raised. The idea of imposing a border toll as a means to generate revenue will be the focus of today´s hearing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
