In 2010, with our help, the excess equipment
program sent 6 excess military Humvees to Texas Border Sheriffs. Often,
before this transfer, the border sheriffs were forced to chase the drug
cartels in Crown Victorias. This amendment mandates that DOD give border security applicants an
additional preference for the equipment listed in this amendment. I've heard from our agents down on the border and this is the
equipment they need. Let's put this ``excess'' equipment to use on the southern border in
the war against the drug cartels and help bring security, peace of
mind, and more safety to those Americans living in the area.
