Summary of Bill S 5102

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.
