We know that more must be done to meet our global commitments, and by
providing some of the resources that will be necessary for a sustained
rebuilding campaign--one we can hope will earn bipartisan support--we
can take an important step forward. This legislation will also allow us to substantially strengthen the
border. It contains the largest increase in border security resources
in a decade, allowing us to address high-priority security needs, crack
down on illegal border crossings, and strengthen the border with
everything from upgraded physical infrastructure to high-tech biometric
and surveillance technology. We know more must be done to secure the
border, and by finally delivering more of the resources and tools
necessary to secure it, we can take an important step forward. This legislation will also allow us to fight back against the opioid
and heroin crisis while bolstering medical innovation and treatments at
the same time.
