Many women have been murdered along the border. and most of these homicides remain unsolved. People have died in the desert after being exploited by human traffickers. known as coyotes. This bill provides for mandatory minimum sentences for those convicted of alien smuggling. It also has the potential to save many lives. Because of the enhanced surveillance capabilities provided by the bill. we are more likely to detect individuals who are lost. in distress or who are about to become victims of crime near these border crossings. For all of the foregoing reasons. I ask that the body pass this important legislation.
