U.S. Senator Jerry Moran voted to pass a senate budget resolution concerning the safety of our southern border, a necessary first step – to provide increased protections for the southern border and strengthen National Security. In a statement, Moran says the crisis at the southern border has posed a National Security risk and led to deadly drugs, human traffickers and thousands of migrants illegally entering the country. He adds the President has taken quick action to address this crisis, but it will take more resources and manpower to build a sustainable security structure to keep the border safe long-term.
The legislation will provide Congress the ability to deliver cutting-edge technology and permanent infrastructure to assist border patrol in their task of apprehending dangerous individuals and stopping the flow of fentanyl. He says keeping our nation safe also requires investing in our military, and this legislation unlocks Congress’ ability to bolster our defense capabilities to counter rising threats around the globe and make certain our service members are equipped with the necessary tools to protect our Nation.
