Behind the scenes at two remote border crossings

Another interesting read from Connect2Canada, wow.

•DHS planned to spend $31 million to upgrade remote border crossings
•The crossings are only 12 miles apart and get little to no traffic
•Laredo, Texas, by comparison, gets 66,000 crossings a day
•Laredo will not receive any of the $400 million in DHS border stimulus funds
