In this episode of The Weekly Congressional Report, we take a deep dive into two critical pieces of legislation aimed at strengthening U.S. border security and combating fentanyl trafficking.
First, we explore S. 4361, the Border Act of 2024, which provides emergency supplemental appropriations for border security measures and the fight against fentanyl. The bill includes significant funding for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, increased immigration detention capacity, and heightened enforcement activities along both the southern and northern borders.
Next, we analyze H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023, which calls for the resumption of border wall construction, enhanced border technology, and stricter immigration enforcement policies. The act outlines a comprehensive strategy to achieve operational control of the southern border, utilizing advanced technology to curb illegal crossings and drug trafficking.
Join Brian Barnes along with AI hosts Avery and Iris as they break down these important bills and discuss their potential impact on national security, immigration policy, and the ongoing battle against the fentanyl crisis.
**Note - Congress is out of session the week of October 21, 2024. As such we are reviewing bills from earlier in the cycle that have major impacts on you. Congress will be back in session on November 12th**
