Crane-Backed Border Bill Advances Out of Committee

A border security bill supported by Prescott-area Congressman Eli Crane has advanced out of committee. The House Committee on Border Security advanced a funding package that would pay for new physical barriers, improved facilities, increased manpower, and modernized surveillance.

In a release from his office, Crane stated, “I’m proud to support President Trump and his team as they secure the border. By heavily investing in overlapping deterrents, our plan will significantly reduce human trafficking, fentanyl overdoses, and unlawful entries. This package will provide reinforcements for our brave agents on the ground and fortify our defenses for years to come.”
