Brian Bilbray: “the gentleman is on a border State; he is up North, I am down South. There are two borders, though we forget about that…”

On the recordJuly 15, 1998
the gentleman is on a border State; he is up North, I am down South. There are two borders, though we forget about that sometimes. I want to clarify. The gentleman said this happens in many places. Where else in the United States do we have a problem like this that has been perpetuated through either Federal inaction or inappropriate action and been perpetuated through Federal agreements with foreign governments? I think the gentleman has to admit this is unique in one aspect.
