which means thousands of new construction jobs. The DHS will
need to spend probably 50 to 75 million dollars for TV commercials
and print ads to educate the public.


All new land border ports that are being constructed are being built with the ability to direct traffic to outbound booths for the purpose of outbound operations and exit control. Exit control has been mandated by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act since 1997. However, it has never been sufficiently funded by Congress.
