House Homeland Security Chairman Planning Border Security Legislation

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said he plans to introduce legislation next week that will improve border security. “As part of my agenda, next week I will lay out a framework for legislation to gain operational control of our borders," he said in a press release. "It is this Committee’s duty to oversee the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs and Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, and we must ensure they cohesively develop a long overdue comprehensive plan to secure our borders."
