Sens. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., have introduced a bipartisan bill that would help improve communication and coordination among law enforcement at the southern U.S. border.
In a press release, Blackburn and Cortez Masto note that the recent attack on Israel by Hamas highlights the need for proper border security.
"Hamas' horrific incursion into Israel and subsequent mass murder of innocent Israelis has been a solemn reminder of the critical importance of border security," Blackburn said in a statement. "Amid an unprecedented number of illegal immigrants arriving at the southern border, our Border Patrol agents are completely overwhelmed."
