Mr. GONZALEZ of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 2213,
the Anti-Border Corruption Reauthorization Act of 2017. This legislation aims to address a staffing issue that has plagued
the United States Customs and Border Patrol for many years. H.R. 2213 would add the option to waive the polygraph test for a
select few individuals who have already successfully taken and passed a
similar polygraph test in the past. These individuals are veterans,
members of our Armed Forces, or law enforcement officers with clean
records and years of honorable service. A veteran with secret clearance and an honorable discharge, 3 years
of service, and a tier 5 background check is someone I would hold in
high regard and exempt from an unnecessary polygraph.
