Border crossings to Mexico would see more inspections and new agents to stop smuggling.
This bill would increase inspections for people and vehicles going from the U.S. to Mexico. It would set a new minimum inspection rate and hire at least 200 new agents to investigate smuggling. This means travelers to Mexico could face more checks, while law enforcement would get more tools to fight illegal activities.
Today, there is no specific rule for how many vehicles or people must be inspected when leaving the U.S. for Mexico. Also, no set number of new imaging systems or special agents are specifically authorized for southbound smuggling investigations. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Homeland Security would need to inspect at least 10 percent of all traffic going from the U.S. to Mexico by March 30, 2027. It would also allow for up to 50 new imaging systems. The bill would also require the hiring of at least 200 new Homeland Security Investigations special agents. These agents would focus on stopping smuggling across the southern border.
