Bill 118 s 5102, also known as the Cross-Border Tunnel Report Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit a report to Congress on cross-border tunnels along the US-Mexico border.
The report must include information on the number of cross-border tunnels discovered, the locations of these tunnels, the methods used to detect and dismantle them, and any challenges or obstacles faced in addressing this issue. The bill also requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to provide recommendations for improving tunnel detection and prevention efforts.
The Cross-Border Tunnel Report Act aims to increase transparency and accountability in the government's efforts to combat cross-border tunnels, which are often used for illegal activities such as drug trafficking and human smuggling. By requiring a detailed report on this issue, Congress hopes to better understand the scope of the problem and identify ways to improve border security.
Overall, the Cross-Border Tunnel Report Act is a bipartisan effort to address a pressing national security issue and ensure that the government is effectively combating the threat posed by cross-border tunnels.
