Yesterday, the House Committee on Homeland Security advanced a robust border security funding package, supported by Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ), to ensure that President Trump has the necessary resources to keep Americans safe.

These investments would provide new physical barriers, improved facilities, increased manpower, modernized surveillance, and additional infrastructure for our security apparatus.

Specifically, the measure allocates more than $46 billion to complete the wall, $7 billion for CBP personnel, incentives, and training, as well as $5 billion to enhance border security technology.

"As Arizona's only member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, I'm proud to support President Trump and his team as they secure the border. By heavily investing in overlapping deterrents, our plan will significantly reduce human trafficking, fentanyl overdoses, and unlawful entries," said Rep. Crane. "This package will provide reinforcements for our brave agents on the ground and fortify our defenses for years to come. I appreciate Chairman Green's leadership and look forward to sending the President long-overdue assistance."   back...
