To fully support the Customs and Border Protections mission. we include a provision to allow unfettered access to Federal lands. Right now. through a memorandum of understanding. Border Patrol officials are only permitted to pursue suspects onto Federal lands. They cannot do regular patrols. Finally. the supplemental includes a sense of Congress that children should not be detained at military bases. While this will not change the law. this provision addresses a serious and growing concern for Members of Congress. not the least of concerns is that children should not be stored on military bases. The Congressional Budget Office has given its assessment of policy changes in this bill.
