They are literally frozen in place because they are bottlenecked because of archaic. antiquated infrastructure and lack of appropriate staffing at the border. Infrastructure on the border also plays another important role. preventing things such as illicit drugs and merchandise from entering the country. In many respects. as I said. our border crossings. the technology employed there. and the professionals who work therethey are the first line of defense against bad actors who want to get into the country illegally or get contraband goods through our ports. In Texas. better roads and bridges at the border region mean better economic opportunity and quality of life for our growing border communities. Fortunately. the border infrastructure provision in this highway bill would give the Governor in Texas and all other border States the freedom to assess the biggest transportation problems facing those States and would also provide essential tools to address them.
