Ahead of a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border, U.S. Senator for Nebraska Pete Ricketts is proposing more scrutinous evaluations of border security procedures.

Today, Ricketts introduced the Ensure Uniform Border Inspection Practices (or EUBIP) Act, which would require annual comprehensive reviews of U.S. Customs and Border Protection policies to improve enforcement practices.

The EUBIP Act would specifically require U.S. Customs and Border Protection to perform annual comprehensive reviews of how individuals and illegal substances are subverting ports of entry. These reviews would help reinforce inspection practices across weak areas.

“These solutions attack Biden’s border security failures head on,” said Senator Ricketts, “From reforming our broken asylum process to building the wall to stopping sanctuary cities policies in liberal states and cities to going after cartels and reforming our broken asylum process. If Biden won’t act, Congress must.”
