Border security continues to be a hot political issue, and lawmakers of both houses and both parties introduce a raft of new border security-related bills; the bills range from a measure to establish health care services along the U.S.-Mexico border to a proposal to educate border patrol agents about child trafficking to a bill calling for compensation to border counties for high level of undocumented aliens relying on county services
Border security continues to be a hot political issue, and lawmakers of both houses and both parties introduce a raft of new border security-related bills. Security Management reports that the bills range from a measure to establish health care services along the U.S.-Mexico border to a proposal to educate border patrol agents about child trafficking to a bill calling for compensation to border counties for high level of undocumented aliens relying on county services. Here is a sample:
•Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-New Mexico) and Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) introduced legislation (S. 1257) to extend funding for the U.S.-Mexico Border Health Commission and fund health care services along the entire U.S.-Mexico border.
•Effective border security operations involves the establishment of procedures for different scenarios. Representative Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-California) introduced (H.R. 2235) the Child Trafficking Victim Protection Act to provide care guidelines for victims of child trafficking and females in custody of immigration.
•Sheriffs in counties on the border are increasingly responsible for playing a role in border enforcement. Representative John Carter (R-Texas) introduced a bill (H.R. 2227) that would help compensate these counties for their “unique economic burden” as a result of a high level of undocumented illegal activity.
