One bill would provide Border Patrol agents with increased medical training and EMT certification, as well as deliver enhanced language interpretation services and voice access to physicians or health care providers at all Customs and Border Protection remote stations and southern land-based ports of entry. A second proposal would increase commercial hours of operation at some of the nation’s busiest southern land ports of entry and direct CBP to conduct a study of designated port of entry locations to identify improvements to redesign, modernize and improve efficiency.
The third piece of proposed legislation would make investments in technology and equipment in rural and remote border areas, such as New Mexico’s Bootheel. The bill also includes a new pilot program designed to address Border Patrol personnel retention. “Instead of wasting billions of dollars on a border wall that New Mexicans don’t want or need, we should make smart, responsible investments,” Heinrich said in a statement. “I am proud to introduce pragmatic proposals that address the gaps in the border security debate and reflect the realities of our border communities.” A “massive, wasteful wall” along the entire southern border, Udall said in a statement, is not a realistic or effective approach to keeping people safe or keeping the nation secure. “We face complex challenges at our border, and those challenges demand serious and common-sense solutions like those included in these bills,” Udall said. “… I hope Congress can move beyond the president’s message of division and work toward these meaningful solutions.”...MORE

Proposing to turn the Border Patrol into the Welcome Wagon.
These people are a joke. More EMT training?
In other words MESIAS “make it easier and safer to invade America from the south” act.
Instead of spending billions on a border wall, let’s spend it instead on floral bouquets, rugged luggage, and MREs for all wary travelers.
Traitors to America. All their bills do is assist Mexicans as they pour in.
How about just building a border wall/Fence tall enough to deter these alians from trying to break into our country.That way our border patrol agents won’t have to provide health care or interprets services to these people.
Band Aid solutions for a situation requiring major surgery.
A wall would STOP much of the traffic. These proposals would only encourage more illegal invasions.
I am surprised they are not offering FREE UBER and LYFT with FREE nights at a Holiday Inn. [/s]
The proposal is DOA at the WH.
Mitch, do your thing.

These guys are giving AOC a real run for her money in STUPID. Why on earth would we spend taxpayer money on medical care for CRIMINALS invading our country? Did American GIs make treating wounded Germans a priority? Bullets before bandages for these filthy parasitic human waste products.
Last time I checked....border security is under Federal control.
At least that is what Obama told us when he was President.
Nothing but crickets from the GOP-e
SPOT ON!
Mitch, do your thing.

Mitch’s “thing” is to get that final amnesty to complete the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA), this fits right into that.

“A wall would STOP much of the traffic”
My major concern is not the drug haulers.
My main problem is the uneducated, destitute people that enter America but are unable to help us. Furthermore, they and their children might eventually become citizens. Scary stuff.
Drugs are a nasty problem — the ideal thing to smuggle since they can be smuggled in small packages.
Drugs and people are two different problems.
Great comment.

Jokes that are not the least bit funny. Proof here that people who are supposed to represent citizens, instead support illegals over citizens.
They left nice fluffy pillows for all the illegals off the list. I am sure that will be somewhere in the goodie package though.
