N.M. senators want expanded hours at Santa Teresa port of entry

From the Alamogordo Daily News - New Mexico's U.S. senators are requesting that hours at the Santa Teresa Port of Entry be expanded to an around-the-clock operation.
     Sens. Martin Heinrich and Tom Udall, both Democrats, sent a letter Friday to Janet Napolitano, U.S. secretary of homeland security, asking for extended hours. Commercial hours of operation at the Santa Teresa Port of Entry now are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday.
     "The additional capacity would help increase bilateral trade, grow our economy and create jobs," the senators said.
     Heinrich, in his first year in the Senate after representing the Albuquerque area in the House of Representatives, toured the Santa Teresa port this month. Read more
