We need more money for border infrastructure, not less. The $140 million that Congress authorized is insufficient to meet the needs along our borders, much less to meet the needs of corridors throughout this Nation.
One of the most critical functions of this Committee is to ensure that we are providing the men and women who served our Nation with the health care, compensation, and support they have earned.
Putting Our Resources Towards Security (PORTS) Act would authorize 5,000 additional CBP Officers and 1,200 additional CBP AS new hires.
We must work cooperatively if we are to realistically address the problems that impact the people on both sides of the border.
