Both sides compromised to move this bill forward, and the programs in
it are critical to the security of our ports, our borders, and our
homeland. Going forward, we can do more to add more funding at the
ports. I represent America's port, the Port of Los Angeles. Our ports are
the Nation's largest border crossings, so we must invest in funding
security at the ports. The port security grants I proposed in my committee are crucial to
the cyber and physical safety programs at the Ports of Los Angeles and
Long Beach, and without increased funding, they have been forced to
stop several innovative and important projects. I will continue to
fight for increased port security funding.
