                                 A BILL


 
  To terminate certain Border Patrol traffic checkpoint operations in 
                              California.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives 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 California are an inefficient 
        and ineffective use of border resources.

SEC. 2. TERMINATION OF CERTAIN BORDER PATROL TRAFFIC CHECKPOINT 
              OPERATIONS IN CALIFORNIA.

    (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 operations terminated under subsection (a) 
shall be relocated to the San Diego Border Patrol sector.
                                 <all>
