Welch questions agency officials on border wait times, stressing economic impact on Vermont | 2013-11-14 | 2013 | 2013-11 | Democrat | House | VT | Peter Welch | W000800 | welch.house.gov | legacy | At a Congressional oversight hearing today, Rep. Peter Welch questioned agency officials in charge of border crossings about the NEXUS program that allows for expedited processing for Vermonters and Canadian visitors. Vermonters have contacted Rep. Welch to tell him that it can still take up to 30-45 minutes to get across the border even after they have paid out-of-pocket and gone through the trouble to get a NEXUS card. Rep. Welch emphasized that long wait times at the Canadian border do real economic harm to our state's economy. Watch here: ##### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
