I've never met anyone without an opinion on the consequences of free trade with Mexico.
Some people hate it and others love it.
Texas, which sees 67 percent of all commercial land traffic from Mexico, stands to be the biggest long term loser if we don't begin to invest in improving our border now. The border has many pressing needs, including improved housing, health care, water resources, and economic development. A key element in improving trade and economic development is expanding and improving our U.S. Customs Service resources along the border. An enhanced Customs Service presence is essential to remove the border bottlenecks that are choking economic and cultural exchanges between the two countries. The U.S. Customs Service is our nation's front line of defense against foreign contraband.
