The Journal of Commerce recently reported that a bill presented
to the U.S. Senate seeks to "authorize $925 million over five years
to improve infrastructure and technology at the197 U.S. crossings along
the Canadian and Mexican borders."
The legislation is spurred by the phenomenal growth in trade generated by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). 100 million dollars per year will be dedicated to the upgrades of the border infrastructures and technologies. The bill is the result of a study done in June 2000, by the General Services Administration (GSA) which identified "$784 million in needed facility improvements along the Northern and Southwestern borders." |
