North American Perimeter Security: Mexico and Canada grant the US the authority to secure their borders. If the US can control who and what are entering Mexico and Canada, the US will have beter control over who and what are entering the US from each of those countries. Plus the freight train can cross the border without slowing down. S 853 by Richard Luger.

Is this an ideal solution in your opinion?

Nothing is ideal, but since there are significant numbers of containers passing thru Mex-Can bound for the US, and the number of containers will be increasing, it is a very good idea.

The underlying concept is to cerifiably secure a container at its point of packing, at its port of origin, at the Mexican port, and at the Texas border port.

This is already being done thru-out the world. We even have a few express truck lanes on the border thru which certifiable freight can pass more quickly.
