What are the key concerns that OFO leadership hears from port officers that get in the way of them successfully doing their job?

At times I worry the border security technology discussion focuses too much on the regions between ports of entry and not enough on the ports themselves.
This investment will help provide more security and more efficient trade and travel, but security is a constantly evolving challenge.
It is critical to understand what technology is needed right now, both to detect and deter shipments of illegal drugs but also to facilitate the flow of legitimate trade and travel.
Our ports along the Southwest Border play a critical role in facilitating trade and ensuring the safety, prosperity, and economic security of the American people.
This historic legislation included $3.85 billion to modernize land ports of entry throughout the Nation.
I continue to be very concerned about the number of lives that are lost to suicide.
Appreciation goes to the late Senator John McCain and Senator Sinema for their support of this effort.
