Speaker, I rise today in support of the rule
providing for the consideration of H.R. 2213, the Anti-Border
Corruption and Reauthorization Act of 2017. As someone who has spent their entire career and adult life in law
enforcement, I know full well the importance of being able to hire
quality men and women to provide for the security of our communities
and our Nation at large. H.R. 2213 simply provides the Border Patrol and U.S. Customs a tool
in their
hiring toolkit to expedite the hiring of those who have already held
some of our Nation's highest positions of public trust and who have
already undergone the most thorough vetting available. It allows Federal, State, and local law enforcement officers who have
served in good standing for more than 3 years and who have undergone a
polygraph exam to be eligible to have their CBP preemployment polygraph
waived in order to expedite their hiring.
