This bill offers a significant investment for federalstate partnerships to help economically distressed and underdeveloped areas that have experienced high levels of unemployment. poverty. or population loss. The bill provides an unprecedented amount of money to develop transportation and infrastructure. provide job skills training and support business development. I am personally offendedas are my constituents in South Texasthat the only infrastructure Congress has approved along the border is a wall . . . a wall that wont work and that is entirely about political expediency. not border security. Developing the South Texas infrastructure helps ensure that this region can support the trade that churns through the U.S. economy. South Texas faces a host of challenges in terms of economic development and infrastructure to support trade all along the Southwest border--and the only way to tackle it is all together. not piecemeal.
