Fox News: Bipartisan bill promises more resources at ports to fight fentanyl smuggling, speed up wait times
A bipartisan effort in the House is underway to enhance drug enforcement at U.S. ports of entry. The proposed H.R. 1924, the Border Enforcement, Security, and Trade (BEST) Facilitation Act, aims to hire image technicians to improve cargo scans, potentially increasing the interception of drugs like fentanyl while expediting legal trade.
The legislation responds to the ongoing strain on resources at the border, exacerbated by rising migrant numbers. With over 21,000 pounds of fentanyl seized in fiscal 2024, proponents argue that improved scanning will save lives and streamline inspections. The bill has garnered bipartisan support amid a contentious political landscape.
