104TH CONGRESS
1ST SESSION
H. R. 340
To terminate certain Border Patrol traffic checkpoint operations in California.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 4, 1995
Mr. PACKARD introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
A BILL
To terminate certain Border Patrol traffic checkpoint
operations in California.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Federal Government has responsibility
to secure the United States borders against the
entry of illegal aliens.
(2) It is far more effective and cost-efficient to
prevent the entry of illegal aliens at the border than
the apprehension and removal of illegal aliens after
entry.
(3) Border checkpoints located 60 miles inside
the United States border within the State of Califor-
nia are an inefficient and ineffective use of border
resources.
SEC. 2. TERMINATION OF CERTAIN BORDER PATROL TRAF-
FIC CHECKPOINT OPERATIONS IN CALIFOR-
NIA.
(a) TERMINATION.—Not later than 3 days after the
date of enactment of this Act, the Attorney General shall
terminate the Border Patrol traffic checkpoint operations
located in San Clemente, California, at interstate highway
5 and at Temecula, California, at interstate highway 15.
(b) RELOCATION
OF RESOURCES.—Border Patrol
agents and resources located at such checkpoint oper-
ations terminated under subsection (a) shall be relocated
to the San Diego Border Patrol sector.
