Strengthening Border Controls to Combat Drug and Human Smuggling.

This act aims to enhance border security by requiring regular updates to inspection policies. This will better equip border officials to detect drug and human smuggling, potentially improving public safety and reducing the availability of illegal substances in the country.
Key points
Border protection agencies must review and update their inspection policies and manuals at ports of entry at least every three years.
The goal is to ensure inspection practices are effective and adapt to new methods used to disguise illegal activities like drug and human smuggling.
After each update, a report summarizing the changes will be submitted to relevant Congressional committees.
