One bipartisan policy change I am here to advocate for is my bill, H.R. 5590, the Border Enforcement, Security, and Trade, or BEST, Facilitation Act of 2023.

The current $1 million annually that our local DHS office receives is nowhere near adequate to counter the State-level threats that our local government faces daily.
