Bill overview
The Border Visibility and Security Act aims to bolster border security by requiring the Department of Homeland Security to implement a multi-faceted approach. This includes constructing navigable roads along 700 miles of the border, deploying advanced surveillance technology like radar and drones, and eradicating certain vegetation along the Rio Grande. The bill also mandates the creation of a comprehensive strategy outlining the necessary barriers and technologies, and directs the use of forfeited drug cartel funds to support these security measures.
