This bill would increase inspections and enforcement efforts at the U.S.-Mexico border to target drug cartels and criminal organizations smuggling contraband into the country. It would likely give border agents and customs officials more resources, personnel, or authority to search vehicles and cargo moving southbound (toward Mexico) to prevent weapons, money, and other materials from reaching criminal groups. The changes would affect border security agencies, travelers crossing the border, and potentially businesses involved in cross-border trade.
