A bipartisan effort led by Reps. Abigail Spanberger and Dan Crenshaw aims to address gun trafficking at the U.S.-Mexico border. The proposed bill focuses on enhancing outbound inspections and increasing resources to combat illegal activities.
The bill mandates inspections for at least 10% of outbound transport from the U.S. to Mexico, with a possibility of raising the threshold to 15 or 20%. It also requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to report on these inspections. Customs and Border Patrol would be directed to assign at least 500 officers to inspect goods and people heading into Mexico.
