Unlikely to pass

While border security is a major topic, this bill is currently supported only by one party and has not moved past the initial committee stage.

Key Points

This bill requires the government to update its security plans for the U.S.-Canada border every five years. It focuses on making sure there are enough officers to keep the border safe and running smoothly.
Officials warn that a massive wave of retirements is coming in 2028. The number of officers leaving could jump by 400 percent, which would leave many border crossings understaffed and vulnerable.
The northern border faces unique problems like freezing winters and a lack of affordable housing for workers. This makes it hard to convince people from other parts of the country to move there for work.
To fix this, the bill asks the Department of Homeland Security to create local hiring plans. It also looks into using bonuses and student loan help to keep current officers on the job.
